HRB 12 Miler
Vic, his friend Jo from Katy Fit, Cassie, June, Edwin and myself got 12 miles in this morning as we went from the Memorial Park Tennis Center all the way to the George R. Brown Convention Center (and the Houston Marathon finish line).
Edwin and I probably had the shortest route at 12.10 miles (6 out and 6.1 back). Cassie and June may have done a little bit more getting to the GRB as they went on some of the trails instead of staying right along Allen Parkway (after getting to Waugh.) Vic and Jo added the return down Blossom instead of Memorial and he said that his Garmin logged 12.89 miles.
Our course? See it here on the USATF site.
Edwin and I were (and thanks to Edwin for going it a little slow) 1:07-change going to the GRB and 1:12-change coming back. Pretty consistent the entire way. I thought that the heat and humidity got us a little bit coming back. Apparently not. (My back was fine, but I didn't try to really push it; however, the pace was good. As I was talking to Sean Wade in the finish line area yesterday after the Komen Race for the Cure 5K and mentioned that I was having some lower back issues, he said, "Be careful and get on the soft stuff" and I tried to do as much running in the grass as I could this morning.)
I heard Bruce Mansur say this morning at the Mile 0 marker - as the Bayou City Road Runners were gathering for their weekend runs at 6:30 a.m. like us - that it was 76 degrees. (We talked with Mark Fraser a little bit at Eleanor Tinsley Park while we were all loading up on water. He was getting in 20 and has the Rocky Raccoon 25K on his schedule next.)
I completely now understand all of the journalism, newspaper and yearbook classes that Edwin teaches at Angleton HS and reportedly Cassie - by her own admission - gave June the complete lowdown on Janet Jackson (no links here!) and her music. Seriously, though, we all had a great time!
June, Vic and myself made a trip to Biba's Greek Pizza for breakfast. Mmmmmm ... good eats! :)
