Long Run in Jackson / Striders at Seabrook
And after lunch, the NAIA Final Four press conference at the Doubletree Hotel and dinner with the HBU Huskies women's team and some parents, I finally dragged myself out of the hotel at about 9 p.m. this evening to put in a run of 1:50 (an hour and 50 minutes). [I really wish I could train on these long inclines on a regular basis.]
I have no idea what the distance was, but my perceived exertion level was medium to slightly hard. I figured that I averaged an 11 minute mile (maybe a little less). I really felt like my pace was pretty consistent through the entire 110 minutes. Therefore, I probably ended up doing about 10 miles. And overall, I felt very, very relaxed although my back and the area behind my knees are beginning to hurt a little bit.
Meanwhile, Striders running coach Steve Shepard reported an excellent turnout at the Seabrook Lucky Trails Marathon and Half Marathon. He indicated that a torrential rain overnight gave way to splashy puddles and warm conditions. (Hmmm ... sounds a lot like the reports from Austin last month.) Here are some of the results:

It was good to see the PR of 2:24:41 from fellow '04 Fall Fitness PIMster, Stacy Stepler ..... Galveston Daily News columnist Bernice Torregrossa, 50, finished the half marathon in 2:58:55 ..... Former Houston Chronicle running columnist Patti Muck, 46, ran the marathon in 4:16:49.

Good run. What do you do about back pain? I had that for the first time this morning's run. Everything was fine except for that ache.
Also, there is a Surfside race? (I live near Surfside) Where is a good place to find these local runs?
Sorry for all the questions.

Ah! Great link. Sidenote. Bill Shaw was one of my professors when I attended BC. My favorite english class ever! Certainly promted my decision to get a journalism degree from UT. I'll probably join BARRA, though I'm in no shape for a half marathon this year, maybe by next I can make that one.
