This time of year is great for so many reasons. My favorite reason is the cooler weather (on most days), which means pleasant running time and fall races!
If you live in the RGV, there are TONS of running events coming up in the next few months of all distances. Check them out and find one for you and/or your family! Comment below with any races we left out or add them to the community events calendar here!
For the Kids
McAllen Kids Marathon Program :: Kids age 5-3 can participate in this run walk program by signing up and keeping a log of their first 25.1 miles. The last mile (making it a grand 26.1 miles) will be run/walked together during the Tamale Kids Run on December 6, 2014. As a runner and a mommy, it’s exciting to see an opportunity like this to plant the seed in our kids for a love of running, walking, and a healthy lifestyle!

Hi Patricia,
Sorry. We don’t offer blogging classes. We’re still trying to figure it all out. But there are some great online resources we do look to often. One of them is Blogging with Amy. She has great beginner WordPress and blog tutorials she does and they are free! Best of luck and congrats on the Beach Body Coach certification!
