Some Races You Should Know About!
If you aren't going to make it all the way up to The Woodlands on Saturday, September 24th to do Run The Woodlands 5K, there are three (3) Greater Houston area 5K's.
The first is the "Beat The Heat 5K" in Jersey Village which is put on by the cousin of On The Run Racing Team member and blogger Sam Rodriguez. The other two include the "Katy Fall Classic 5K" and the "5th annual HBU Husky Hustle 5K."
A 5K that I was just made aware of this evening by fellow Houston Strider Charlie Rodriguez is the 10th annual Run for the Word hosted by Incarnate Word Academy on Sunday, October 9th. (I'd do this one if the Bear Creek Striders 10K/20K wasn't going to take place the same morning.)
And finally, a 10K that I'd like to do again this year is "The Best Little 10K in Texas" to be held in LaGrange, Texas on Saturday, October 15th at 9:00 a.m. However, it conflicts with the Huntsville Half Marathon that morning. The "Best Little 10K in Texas" features a challenging course that includes crossing over and back the Colorado River. As long as its cool (with the 9 a.m. start), this is really one of my favorite races even though it is the 2nd year for the event in 2005.
Just doing my part to get the word out!

After my horrible run last night, I want to run a 5K this weekend in hopes of getting motivated. I haven't run one since June! Which one to choose...
If you don't want to come to The Woodlands or Jersey Village (to support Sam's cousin), I'd do the Husky Hustle 5K. (I'd be doing it if they hadn't let their head women's basketball coach get away.)
Jon,
Thanks for putting the Beat the Heat 5k in there. I and my cousin appreciate it. See ya soon!
Sam
