Houston Running: Checking NYC Weather

Houston Running

One of the leading sources for the discussion of Houston-area (and Texas as well) road racing. Focus and attention will be given to Houston-area runners, specifically HARRA members, that compete in outside-of-the-area events as well as those who do interesting things that aren't captured in the various media outlets, such as Inside Texas Running, Runner Triathlete News and Roberta MacInnis' Running Notebook in the Houston Chronicle (all fine publications and columns but with limitations too).

About Me

Name: WalkSports.com

Location: Spring, Texas, United States

I'm a mid-to-the back of the pack runner who probably enjoys promoting runners more than I do running myself ... I've completed 21 marathons (with a 4:47:32 PR! in Austin) and 52 half marathons (with a 2:09:58 PR! in Oregon) since November 2003 ... I've done a marathon in 12 states, half marathon in 23 and an event in 30 states and one Canadian province ... I have a 13-year-old daughter, Waverly Nicole, who completed her first half marathon in January 2006, made only two B's each of the last two years, was the only sixth grader to sing a solo (Carrie Underwood's Don't Forget To Remember Me) in their choir program (adding Taylor Swift's Tim McGraw in '08) and scored a 19 on the ACT in December 2007 as a seventh grader ... Waverly and I are members of the following clubs -- the Seven Hills Running Club, HARRA and The Woodlands Running Club ... I'm Marathon Maniac #308 ... I edit HARRA's Footprints in Inside Texas Running and write a column for Runner Triathlete News called, "Talking the Talk" ... I'm also the running columnist for the Courier of Montgomery County ... I'm a three-time winner of TAPPS' Sportswriter of the Year Award as well as TABC's Golden Hoops Award.

Checking NYC Weather

Sunday, November 6th's forecast, according to weather.com, is 63 / 56.

I'd prefer to see more of a 55 / 45. The weather for the Houston Marathon last year was spectacular. I wore my Marine Corps race jacket the entire way and it was absolutely perfect. I think that was more like 54 (finish)/ 38 (start).

Off to Deer Park in the morning for the Goblin Gallop 5K.

(Went to the gym at Bally's in The Woodlands at about 9 p.m. this evening to get in some elliptical work since I won't be near a Bally's when I see my grandparents. They changed hours and they were closing then. Ugh!)

Steve Bezner said...: I'm a member of Ballly's as well and have seen their hours of operation shrink as well. The gym close to my office opens at 6 a.m. which is not early enough for me!

I may be joining another gym, like 24 hour fitness. :(; 5:04 AM
