TEXIAN. A word (in Spanish Tejano) describing both male and female citizens or the culture of the former province of Tejas, New Spain, the Texas section of the state of Coahuila y Tejas, Republic of Mexico, and the subsequent Republic of Texas.
Government officials including Miguel Ramos Arispe, author of the Mexican Constitution of 1824, referred to the residents of Texas as Tejanos. President of the Texas Republic, Mirabeau B. Lamar, used the term Texian to promote national pride. The current term Texan eventually replaced both terms after annexation.

- I’ve been a runner since the early 70’s, fairly competitive in the 80’s, ultra’s in the 90’s and not a lot since. I’m a member of The Woodlands Running Club and also an RRCA Certified Running Coach. I have recently formed a training group with the help of many great friends, Volte Endurance Training, with the mission to display Christian values, maintain high standards of excellence, promote integrity, respect the fundamental rights, dignity and worth of all our participants, apply and make public our knowledge of sport in order to contribute to the community and encourage all individuals, training groups and clubs. I have wonderful memories from all I’ve done and I know the best is still yet to come with all the great friends I have in the running community.

I think we should make Hager take a Texas History quiz to get the relay legs that she wants.
Wow, I had no idea!
