Upcoming Races in February

There are several great races being held in El Paso in February.

It's about time I started to lace up my shoes again and hit the pavement. The plan is to wake up at 5 each morning to get my running in before I head off to school.

I mentioned to the kids in class today that finishing a marathon was on my bucket list so now I have that extra motivation to prove to myself and them that I can do it.

I am aiming to cross marathon off my list in March by running, or crawling, in the El Paso Marathon.

Running does wonders for clearing my head and provides a healthy outlet for all the stress I carry around with me. Hopefully posting to this blog will keep me motivated and focused.

Basketball Games 1/25/11

The basketball season has been going great for the Riverside boys in District 2-4a. They are currently undefeated and are set to take on the other big dog in the District, the parkland Matadors. The Rangers beat that Mats in their first meeting and hope to put them away again tonight as they inch close to a District championship.

The Lady Rangers have only one loss in District play and look to continue their push for a District title against the Lady Mats tonight at 7pm at Parkland.

The Horizon and Canutillo girls will battle it out to see who will remain a contender for a district title tonight in Horizon. Both teams are playing well and have hopes of winning a district title. Hoops fans should be in for a real treat.
