I had a phone call last week informing me that my cousin, Bill Caddoo, had won the Stratton Mountain race.

San Marcos Academy is heading back to the playoffs for the third straight year as the Bears defeated the Kerrville Our Lady of the Hills Hawks 56-0 on homecoming night.

In one of the biggest wins of the season, Texas State defeated the South Alabama Jaguars, 3-1 (2225, 25-14, 25-22, 25-20) to sweep the doubleheader series.

It was a rough night for the San Marcos Rattlers Volleyball team as they fell in the final home game of the year against New Braunfels, 3-0 (25-21, 2516, 25-15).

In one of the most exciting games of the year, Texas State scored two goals in the final 10 minutes to knockoff the Sun Belt East Division leading Old Dominion Monarchs, 2-1.

The Rattlers weren’t able to get things going in the second half Friday.

I was reading an article about keeping a person’s running and walking interesting and fun. One of the suggestions was to change to a different route than the usual routine. I recall one of my favorite runs was along the river walk. It was a mile away but the two miles along the river and trees was worth the extra mile. Another suggestion was to add some hills to the route. I was fortunate to live in a neighborhood that had several hills within a few blocks of my home. Some were long gentle hills and others were steep and short. Then I had different routes for distance. The shortest was three miles and the longest was 13 miles with a good number in between the two extremes. It was a choice I made depending on how I felt and how far the run was yesterday. The variety made it much easier to go on a daily run.
