Saturday's Training Run
After starting the day with 150 situps (working towards 300 a day) and having completely rested on Friday, I got in a good solid 15 miles this morning at Cullen Park, located at Highway 6 and Patterson Road (on the city's west side).
I was invited by fellow Strider (and one of our PIM coaches) Megan Clark-Dillingham. She, her husband, Gavin, Tim and Karen Bowler, Saara DeWalt, Carole Flad and two of our PIM Fitness group members, Becky Stevens and Clarence Silva were also in attendance. HARRA president (and Strider) Steve Sheppard joined us later (and helped pace Saraa). Also seen on the course was another Strider, John Yoder.
We ran from Highway 6 to Barker Cypress along an asphalt trail two times. (This totalled approximately 11.5 miles, according to Steve. Going from Hwy. 6 to the restrooms in the middle of the trail and back ... brought it to 15 miles for the morning.)
Next Sunday, December 26th? The Striders' Longest Long Run of 21 miles that is on the hp Houston Marathon course.
Of our PIM Fitness group, the following individuals are already signed up for either the hp Houston Marathon or the Aramco Half Marathon:
Houston Marathon -- Chris Murphy, Stacy Stepler, Jon Walk.
Aramco Half Marathon -- Amy Parker, Christina Rodriguez, Clarence Silva, Becky Spaulding, Becky Stevens, John Ainsworth, Sophie Rydin.
All three of our coaches -- Megan, Saara and Lee Greb -- will be doing the full marathon.
