I got up early and headed out to Brazos Bend State Park with Julie and Dotie. There was a fair amount of rain on Friday and early today. There was suppose to be a bunch of us heading out, but most folks backed out because of the rain and possible trail slop. However, I thought [...]

I’m not sure what else to say. Temps were in the 50s, humidity was low. Anyway, JUlie and I got up early due to other commitments for the day. The first five miles were relatively slow at just over 9 min/mile. However, for the middle 9, we simply lit it up. The plan was for [...]

I’m not sure where to start this blog. This weekend was just an incredible weekend of running. I got up early yesterday to run with Lisa. We agreed on an aggressive long run. We were going to start out easy for the first few miles, then hammer out some miles in the middle and then [...]

I had it in my mind to run a 20 miler today. Well, I did it. I wish I had an 18 miler in my mind. All things considered, the weatehr was not too bad. A little rain and no sun. Yes, it was the typical high 70s with 100% humidity, but for here that’s [...]

Triple long run for the weekend. I ran a 15 and now a couple of 14s. My body is holding up well to this stress. I took it out fast this morning with my average pace at 8:14. A few of those miles were at or below 8 min miles. It was a pleasant start [...]

I ran a 14 miler on the Seabrook trails. Veronica from BARC was the only one out there. We ran at about an 8:30 pace. The left knee felt fine. I was little tired at the end, but not too bad. The plan for now is to stay positive, start tapering, and keep myself from injury.
I’ll [...]
