BARC is getting back together at Seabrook for some training runs. After banging out over 18 yesterday, I thought I might just meet BARC and do one easy out and back with them on the trail for seven miles. I was feeling good, we were running a steady 8:30 pace. So, I went over the Kemah [...]

I went out today with fellow BARCer Julie for a long run. We left at a reasonable hour of 7AM. a cold front came through and pushed the temps down to about 60F. With the cloud cover, it made the run reasonable. We ran from our houses over the Kemah bridge to the Seabrook trails. [...]

I use the word awesome way too much. But, today’s race was awesome!!! I ran in the Gulf Coast Running Club’s 5K Turkey Trot. It was a low key race. However, it was still a race. For me, it was my last chance this year of trying to run a sub 22 minute 5K. And, [...]

I got down to the track tonight for some intervals. I ran with Julie from BARC. It was nice to have some company at the track. We seemed to be pretty compatible. We ran 12 – 200 meter interval. We hit each interval between 49 to 51 seconds. We were able to jog between the [...]

What a run!. This course included 4 up and downs on the Kemah Bridge. I started strong and finished strong! I’m truly high! I never faded. I was a little disappointed to not win an age group award, but it’s really not about the awards. I blew past my expectations. I ran a steady pace [...]

My last couple of runs have been easy 5 milers. For the week, I managed to get my mileage back above 50 miles. During my easy runs, I couldn’t help but to think of Terry. I’m still shocked and sad. I look forward to seeing some BARC members this Sunday. The club is co-hosting a [...]

I’m a man of habit. I run, I enter the data in my log, and then I post. My post started as “Terrific run at the track. I ran 12X200 meters. For the three miles, I averaged a very even 7:30 pace. My warm up two miles were a 7:57 pace. Cooldown was at a 8:20 something [...]

It was cold out there on the Searbook Trails. The temps were barely 40F. However, with little wind and lots of sun, it really felt nice. I ran an easy, untimed 9 miles today. I had no soreness or stiffness from yesterday’s hard 17 miler. My training is right back in the grove. This upcoming [...]

Awesome Run! Went out with the GCRC in the early AM. A cold front came through last night that lowered the temps into the 50s and dropped the humidity. However, it was rather windy (15 MPH, with gusts at 30 MPH). I ran with a couple of quick folks and averaged an 8:17 pace for [...]
