I’m a runner. I love pounding the road with friends while the rest of the world sleeps. It all started 16 years ago when my weight ballooned to 260 lbs and one of my greatest friends in this life, Robert Blevins, introduced me to running. Sixteen years later, I’m still running strong … and about [...]

In honor of Jeff Foxworthy’s “You might be a Redneck,” here are 11 signs you might be a runner… . If you’ve ever driven a car, just to measure how far you ran …. you might be a runner. If you ever judge the color of your urine to determine your level of hydration … [...]

Nothing is more frustrating than getting a rock in my shoe when I’m running. Okay, maybe crazy rabid dogs are worse, but rocks in my shoe are a close second. Rocks are like uninvited guests that show up and ruin your whole party. Here are a few things I’ve learned about getting a rock in [...]

Warrior Dash was a crowded event and a great time. They encouraged everyone to come in costume. I quickly spotted some celebrity runners … like Leonidas from 300. Captain Jack Sparrow? There was “Waldo.” Momma and Papa Smurf We had a great group from Childress head to Forney, Texas for Warrior Dash. Here’s our group [...]

On Miami’s South Beach, you’ll find Robert Kraft, better known as The Raven. He’s there every day. Robert made a New Year’s resolution back on January 1, 1975 to run 8 miles every day that year. Now, 34 years later he still hasn’t missed a day. Eight miles every day for the past 34 years. [...]

I’ve been asked before, “Trey, what gets you angry?” My response is always the same, “Nothing really. I don’t have a problem with getting angry.” That was until recently… It was about 5:00 in the morning. Although it was dark, my buddy Randy and I were running on a street that was pretty well lit. [...]

I’m phasing out my running blog and moving my running posts over here. So from time to time you can expect something on running… sorry 1 – A good run is a great cure for a bad day. 2 – It’s always okay to make fun of the men who are wearing shorty-shorts, but only [...]

I haven’t said much about it because I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to pull it off, but I’m running the Oklahoma City Memorial marathon at the end of this month. I’ve been training with my friend Randy, and I told him if I got the long runs in I’d go do [...]

Last night was Childress’ Jingle Bell 5k run. Thirty-eight people showed up to run. About a month ago, I told my friend Kirby that I thought it would be fun to run the race in a Santa suit. He told me if I’d do the Santa suit, he’d dress up like an elf. The coolest [...]

WHAT I LEARNED… This course provided two of the biggest hills I’ve ever seen in my entire life. These were Mount Sinai sized hills. I’m thrilled they put off the start time until 9 a.m. to give it time to warm up. It was just above freezing when the race started. I was excited to [...]

I had a great weekend. About 200 runners showed up for a 12.2 mile run in some of God’s most beautiful creation. I wasn’t sure if I could do a run this difficult, but shoot, you’ll never know what you can do if don’t try. The thing I’m still learning is that when you put [...]

SATURDAY is the PALO DURO CANYON TRAIL RUN: I’m going this Saturday to Palo Duro Canyon for a 20k (12.5 mile) run. It’ll be a monster of a run because 99% of it will be on dirt trails and up and down hills. Last time I ran this race it was only 9 miles, but [...]
