Back On The Wagon: In A Different Way
Something was missing this week from this blog: It was void of a discussion of any run!
After getting in good miles last Wednesday, running at Blue Bell in Brenham on Saturday (where I didn't do too bad but could have been in a position to have done better) and then logging another 6+ on Sunday, I let the week get under me completely for the first time since the week before running the Freescale Austin Marathon.
Therefore, instead of running in great temperatures this week, I got home close to 6 p.m. from Vancouver via Phoenix, went to the gym at about 8 p.m. and got on the elliptical machine for 45 minutes (4.05 miles) and then went out and logged the 4.1-mile loop in my subdivision at about 10:45 p.m. in 44:42.12 for a pace of 10:54/mile (actually it felt even slower than that). But that was to be expected. No surprises, but I did run in humid conditions.
I need to start a Keith Kelleher-like streak. Up and out the door in less than 5 hours to head to Clear Lake to help Sarah Graybeal with her Yuri's Night 5K.
Waverly's got PSIA academic competition tomorrow. Three events -- Art Smart, Poetry and Maps, Charts and Graphs. State competition is the first Saturday in May in Fort Worth at TCU.
Rick Cook is running the Hog's Hunt 50K in the morning and James David Dykas is running the Big-D Texas Marathon and his wife, Jaclyn, and Jan Poscovsky are doing the Half and representing the Houston Running Bloggers.
