Monday's Health Section in Chronicle
I'm curious by nature. When I saw the special Health section in Monday's Chronicle and saw the note on the cover stating, "Lace 'Em Up: It's Time To Start Marathon Training," I certainly took a look inside.
There was a picture at the starting line of the 2007 Houston Press/Smart Financial 5K at the Chevron Houston Marathon as well as a listing of five (5) training groups.
The five training groups were as follows:
+ Galloway Training Programs
+ Kenyan Way
+ Soaring Ibis
+ Run Strong
+ Team In Training
Noticeably absent was the various USAFit programs around town.
Much like the ConocoPhillips Rodeo Run picture that appeared in the Chronicle a couple of years ago that was dissected in this blog, it was interesting to check the bib numbers and see where runners finished.
Runners in this picture seemed to be looking at a guy that was bent over tying his shoe. Perhaps the fact that he had a headband and long running tights might have been the reason for the curious looks!
In this picture, those lined up were as follows:
+ Zohaib Ali, age 21, 19:02
+ Luis Armenteros, age 34, 15:24 (2nd overall)
+ Rudy Rocha, age 37, 16:25 (4th overall)
+ Robert Cruz, age 15, 26:29
+ Askar Zhunussov, age 31, 28:55
And the guy bent over to tie his shoe? What was on his left arm? You guessed it - a listening device (for radio, it looks like).
