Friday Night Meanderings
We'll see what happens in the morning at the Run The Woodlands 5K #134. Hopefully the recent rains will keep things cool and maybe I can slip back under 30 minutes for a 5K.
The last two evenings, I've hit the elliptical trainer at the Bally's in The Woodlands that I work out at. Thursday night, I was only able to get in 40 minutes (covering 3.71 miles at level 15, random); however, I did this without using the sticks at all.
Tonight, I found out that there is a difference between level 15 and level 16 -- a seemingly significant amount of increased resistance. I was on for 60 minutes covering only 5.1 miles but once again: no sticks.
GO LONG: I need to get in a good long run on Sunday. There are plenty of events that I'll be able to get my miles in heading into New York City in early November.
JUST A LITTLE TIGHT: Well, I confirmed that the weight might be what is slowing me down a bit. I took my two long sleeve technical shirts to wear running in the mountains this week in Albuquerque. The blue Nike that is an XL fit comfortably for Monday's night run; however, the white Marine Corps Marathon that fit nicely right after is a little body snugging. And/or maybe it is a just an inch or so here and there. Might be time to start getting in the situps again.
NEXT WEEKEND: I'm toying with the idea of doing a 7.2-mile, 1,600-foot climb race called the Sandia Peak Challenge next Saturday while in New Mexico. Waverly is flying out Thursday night (into Amarillo of all places ... only place to get a cheap reward ticket) and we are going to do lots over the three days (maybe even a balloon ride ... they're expensive, by the way.)
THREE WEEKENDS AWAY: I'm thinking about staying over the weekend after my last week of work in Albuquerque and going to Flagstaff, Arizona to do a half marathon on Saturday, August 13th. As I've said before, we'll see. (I'm also staring at the 10-Miler on Sunday, August 28th in San Antonio at Fort Sam Houston.)
STRIDELINES ARTICLE: I'm close to finishing up an article on Houston running blogs for the Houston Striders' Stridelines newsletter in August and will probably do a recap article for those nine (9) Striders that finished the inaugural Love theHalf (Marathon) Challenge for the September issue.
