Sunday Treadmill Run, July 29
First, a couple of thoughts on the world of baseball.
Congratulations to Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken, Jr. on their Hall of Fame inductions today. (While I can't say that I was Craig Biggio's biggest fan over the years, all I can say is that I hope Roger Clemens plays one more year so that Biggio won't have to share the spotlight with Clemens.)
Thank goodness that Barry Bonds went 0-for-4 in San Francisco so that their day couldn't be shared with a record that one day may prove to be tainted. The Giants now move to Dodger Stadium for a series that begins on Tuesday where one of my heroes growing up, Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates, is the only player ever to hit the baseball out of Chavez Ravine twice.
Now, if the Texans can get within a touchdown of the Chargers like the Astros did today with the Padres, Gary Kubiak's squad may make it over .500 this season!
I'm just real enthused about the acquisition of Ty Wigginton from Tampa Bay. Unfortunately, Astros general manager Tim Purpura waited too long to get anything of value for Morgan Ensberg. And our chances to get anything for Jason Jennings went out the window with his 39-pitch debacle today.
Now to my run for the day -- 85 minutes on the treadmill at 4:30 p.m. at Bally's in The Woodlands. (Life kept me from getting in two hours as I wanted to run from 4-6 p.m.) A really, really good run. I still had plenty in the tank. After a 5-minute warmup, I started at 4.5 mph and increased it .1 mph eight (8) times until I finished at 5.2 mph. The machine said 6.87 miles, but I know - for me - that it would be almost 8 miles by time.
The temperatures in California this week? Highs of 78-80 with lows of 59-61!
And I'm already planning for the weekend -- Schulenburg's Run For Scouting 5K on Saturday and then the drive to Fort Davis for the Prude Ranch Races Half Marathon on Sunday.

576.5 miles on Yahoo Maps to Ft. Davis! Yikes..
Waverly and I looked at it last night before I left to come here to California.
Looks like a long, but fun trip.
Actual: 634 miles.
