October 8, 2011, a day that will live in history. The date Dr. Tamie D. Erratt ran her FIRST EVER 5K Run. For those of you who are metrically challenged, thats 3.1 miles!! She was accompanied by our friend, Carol Hogan. Tamie has been training, mostly on the treadmill, for the last few months. She has been using a program called "Couch to 5k". For someone who has never done any running before, it has been an amazing thing. She did have a little road work courtesy of her Co-Trainers, Tony and Alice Elkins. A little being something less than an hour. As an aside, there is a "Couch to 10K", could that be next?
The run was organized as part of the 2011 Texas Reds Festival. The Festival celebrates two local agricultural products, beef and wine. Plan on coming down next year, it's a lot of fun. Last night we had a free band playing downtown. The Landsharks, a Jimmy Buffet cover band out of Florida. They were great! In fact, it was interesting to see the mix of age groups out there belting out the songs.
