After some easy runs last week, I finished off the week running in a cross-country relay race. The race takes place in downtown Houston along Buffalo Bayou. Although it’s only a 2 mile leg, it’s a tough one to run. Lots of ups and downs and the the footing in the grass with tree roots [...]

I ran the Club’s predict your time 5K yesterday. I was a little fast, but I still managed 7th overall. Right after the race, a few of us headed out for another 8+ miles. With the warm-up, I put in a little over 12 miles. It was a good day for running.
Today was 15 miles [...]

A repeat race for me. I’m not sure why, but I’m actually disappointed. Once again, Karma was working against me. The race is one of the fun ones left in the area. The race is easy to get to, the crowds are small, and the after race refreshments are top notch. Unfortunately, I had to [...]

I got in an easy 7 miler today. Pretty warm and humid. Winter is coming to an end. This weekend is the Texas Independence Relay Race. It should be interesting. Intersting in running 4 legs of 6+ miles over the two days. And, it should be interesting to see how we all interact.

I ran in the Gallowap Gallup 10K race in Kemah today. I have no complaints about today. Compared with my last 10K in November, I took off a minute. Another best 10K since 2001. It was a little warmer then I preferred. It was in the 60s with some sunshine. I thought it was going to [...]

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, [...]
Mission Accomplished

No complaints about this race. Well, maybe just one, I had to pee at mile 2, which cost me 30- 45 seconds. However, I was impressed with my pace throughout the race and with my finishing time. With the marathon in Waco coming up in a couple of weeks, I did not want to push [...]
