Latest Running Stuff
Nothing too much to get excited about.
Wednesday -- 75 minutes on the stationery bike at Bally's in the evening. (Time PR for me. I think my butt still hurts.)
Thursday -- off
Friday -- 55 minutes on the elliptical trainer at Bally's in the evening. (Not as hard as I used to do these looking back to the earlier part of this year.)
Saturday -- 10.35 miles in The Woodlands in 1:50:58. (Bill: I hope it was a bit longer than that. Ran a good bit of the way with Jim Braden. Slowed him down a little on the back half. I'm pretty confident that the first half was pretty quick for me.)
Sunday -- 5.133 miles in 56:34.27 in W.G. Jones State Forest, just outside of the Conroe city limits off of FM 1488 West. (Ran these trails with Rick Cook.)
Sunday evening -- 4.1 miles in 50:17.91 with Waverly in the subdivision, a pace of 12:16 per mile. (She did the first 1.7 in 20:57.08 and the back 2.4 in 29:20.83 -- paces of 12:19 and 12:13, respectively.)
Hamstrings are starting to tighten up again. If they are like they are yesterday and today, I will not be able to run like I'm capable of doing in two weeks.
Cardio is pretty good. Jim commented at the end of our run Saturday morning, which he joined me midstream, that I had more in me because I was able to carry on a good conversation the majority of the way. I told him that my lower body was hurting a good bit.
I plan on hanging out tomorrow in Kingwood for Steve and Paula Boone's 8th annual Texas Marathon.
I could still run it if I wanted to even though they have exceeded their cap. When you go to check out their online registration, it reads: "The race limit has been reached and online registration is closed. Race day registration is only available to 50 States Marathon Club members and veterans of this race."
Don't worry. I'm not. Well, unless it will be 40 degrees until 1 p.m.

GPS at 10.87 miles. Running on the path is probably a bit longer.
10.87 would have set the pace at 10:12 per mile.
10:35 would have been a pace of 10:43.
Either isn't bad in the humidity.
And either way it was great to run with a legend!
Don't tease me that I might be able to catch you in 2 weeks.
I don't expect the escort from Louisiana, like last year, though.

Doug, if you beat me, I'll gladly buy you a beer as quick as I possibly can.
You're already on my ass for the number of marathons. I have 12 (including Sunmart) and you've got 6 (2 Houstons, MCM, Miracle Match, SA and Sunmart.)
Great to have friendly competition out there!
