Trail Runners of PTU

The adventurous ladies of PTU, Laura Goodwin and Bernice Pierson, did the 25K (15.5 miles) Tejas Trail Run at the Hill Country State Natural Area in Bandera on January 8.

The Bandera Trail run allows athletes to choose from a 25K, 50K or 100K course. There are lots of steep uphills and downhills which makes it a pretty tough trail to negotiate. The rocky trails are dangerous and require maximum attention.

With clear, sunny skies and temperatures in the high 50's during the day, the runners had beautiful views from the tops of the hills.

Bernice finished the 25k in 4 hours and 15 minutes while Laura finished in 4 hours and 55 minutes.

PTU Golf Team is the Cutest!

The PTU Golf Team of Robert Rodriguez, Greg Pierson, Stephen Rodriguez and Dustin Cross traveled to Dallas in October for the Texas PTN Annual Conference Golf Tournament. "We played at the Texas Star Golf Course in Euless," said Robert. "It was a beautiful course and the temperatures were in the 80s."

Nineteen teams of men and women played in the tournament that PTU won last year. They were back to defend their title but they were also looking to gain a new distinction. "Several groups of people on the course wanted to take photos of us because of our distinctive and unique outfits," said Greg. The PTU team wore nice khaki, white, blue and green striped golf shirts with navy embroidery. The shirt was complimented by khaki knickers, navy knee-high socks and a navy golf hat.

PTU finished the day with a score of 50 which was good enough for a 3rd place finish. They were just 2 strokes out of first place. Although they didn't win the tournament, they did win the "Best Looking" team award.

PTU Bowling Team Rocks!

The PTU Bowling team consisting of Alex, Liza, Emma, Michelle and Brett participated in the JDRF's Bowl-a-Thon on October 3 at Fiesta Lanes in New Braunfels. Friend of PTU Donna Tousley organized the event to raise funds for Juvenile Diabetes Research.

We found out that we have some really good bowlers at PTU! Michelle was the stand-out athlete and had the high score for all the ladies bowling! On the other end of the spectrum, Liza and Emma were lucky not to go sliding down the gutter themselves!

"I hadn't bowled in a very long time but I really enjoyed it. It was nice to have a fun outing with my co-workers outside of work," said Alex.

All in all, everyone had a great time and some much needed money was raised for a great cause.

New Part-Time Tech Ashley Seale

Ashley Seale is the newest part-time physical therapy technician at PTU. She is currently a student at Texas State University but attended Northwest Vista Community College in San Antonio for 3 years. Ashley grew up in Mt. Airy, Maryland. Due to her parents' military transfer, she relocated to South Texas and has made it her home.

Ashley is a Sociology major but decided to volunteer at PTU to see if she was interested in changing her career path. Her volunteer job soon became a part-time job when PTU needed more staff.

She loves going out to listen to live music and enjoys all kinds except rap. Her favorite thing about working at PTU is helping people and being able to see the progress that they make every day. "The people who work at PTU and the patients are all very nice," she said. Ashley currently lives in San Marcos and wants to continue focusing on school.
