2012 Chevron Houston Marathon

Three weeks ago I ran the Chevron Houston Marathon and I had another great experience! We had good weather (unlike last year’s rain) and the spectators were better than ever! I also had a lot of my friends and clients out around the course (thanks guys!!), so that always gives me something to look forward to! I ended up going a little slower than planned and didn’t set a PR (I finished at the same time as last year). But, because I went slower I recovered really well and now I’m off to run my first ULTRA MARATHON (50k) at the end of February! Wish me luck : )

*If you are wondering what it feels like to run 26.2 though Houston, read this article I wrote for Culturemap the week before the race!


Special Thanks

Also, I wanted to take this time to give a special shout out to my sponsors who helped me raise money this year! I ran on behalf of Buffalo Bayou Partnership again and participated in the Run For a Reason program and became a “Hero”. This is a great way to raise money for a local charity and I truly believe in Buffalo Bayou Partnership and all the great improvements they are making to our city! I want to give a special shout out to these companies and individuals who kindly donated towards my cause:

(I love their towels!)

 

And these individuals

  • Linda R.
  • Kelly E.
  • Alice S.
  • Ashleigh V.
  • Nancy S.
  • JoJo

Thanks Everyone!

About Me

About Me
Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
