I’m at peak performance right now. This also means, I’m at a vulnerable stage for injury. Yesterday’s two-fer that included a fast paced 7 mile run followed by a X-Country 2 mile race seemed tough enough. With the weather still so nice, I went out and ran down to Kemah to do 3 sets over [...]

Another cool front has made it’s way through. We have been pretty lucky, this has been the third one so far. I took advantage of the cool mornign with a quick 5 mile run before work. I wore the Garmin, but I kept myself from looking at it. I just wanted to run an easy [...]

I went down to the track yesterday to run some intervals. Late September weather is pleasant. The sun is setting a little earlier and the heat and humidity have relaxed. I ran the club plan of 8X400 meters with a 200 meter recovery. After some of my injuries during the spring and early summer, I [...]
Sobering

I ran down to Kemah and Seabrook today. Nice to get a bridge interval in. It was sobering to see all the damage to the houses down by the bridge in Kemah. The beloved Marribelles in Seabrook (host to the best 5K in Texas) is completely gone. I saw a lot of other damage to [...]

At long last, I have a day off from work.I got out early today for a six mile run. The weather is still pleasant down here. Although the damage is not severe, there are many more houses with roof damage than what I first thought. The running trails are littered with trees, but I’m not [...]

It’s been a few days. Hurricane Ike roared through early Saturday morning. I was hunkered down in a hotel on Friday night/Saturday morning. I was not able to get a run in on Saturday. I came home on Saturday and was able to get an 8 mile run in during a heavy rain storm. Our [...]

Before leaving home, I was able to get in a nice 8 miler today at an 8:46 pace. I was not paying attention to my run at all. I was distracted by all the things I had to do before leaving town in preparation of Hurricane Ike. There were a couple of times on my [...]
