Weekend of April 5-6 and more
I know that there's a groundswell of activity for many folks to congregate at Hog's Hunt in Huntsville State Park on Saturday, April 5.
I think I read that original Texian Road Warriors Kim Hager and Andrew Perry were both running it; Kim the 50K and Andrew the 25K.
I believe that I also saw that Tommy Stunz, and his son, Jakeb, were doing the 25K and that Katy Lampson was as well. [And this breaking news from The Woodlands at 11:17 p.m. on Thursday evening, Karen Felicidario is going for the 50K!]
I may have to be the party pooper. I may take Thomas Hill up on his offer to come run the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon in late April. The weather will be a crap shoot for a marathon for sure; however, if I decide to do that, I may go chase a double half weekend on April 5 and 6 with the Eisenhower Half Marathon in Abilene, Kansas on Saturday, April 5 and the Go! St. Louis Half Marathon in Missouri on Sunday, April 6.
It would get me to 23 states in the Half2Run.com (22 states and 1 province) and then Oklahoma City would make a marathon in my 11th state. But I have to find out if they are going to extend me here past the end of March in Pasadena, California.
In other news ...
+ A good friend of mine from West Chester, Pennsylvania, Rob Jones will be attempting his first 50K trail run on Saturday, March 22 at the Bel Monte Endurance Run in Charlottesville, Virginia. He said his wife, Lysa, is planning on doing the 25k. He said, "It will be her first trail run, and she’s not too excited about the course profile which is brutal." He also indicated that he did a 27-mile training run last weekend and is into his taper.
+ Remember to set your clocks forward an hour Sunday morning. (Can you imagine having to deal with that last weekend?)
+ We get our new Seven Hills Running Club dri-fit shirts on Sunday at the club competition against The Woodlands Running Club.
+ From David Wadsworth, president of The Woodlands Running Club: "I heard there may have been some weather problems in Antarctica (imagine that). I am trying to find out if Tony (Allison) was able to finish the marathon there. I will let you know as soon as I hear something."
+ A shout-out to a new friend of mine - and new reader - from Austin, Michele Quintin, 26, who finished her third half marathon in the last month and a half (3M-2:21:14, AT&T-2:22:05 and this past Saturday's ARA Moe's Half Marathon-2:30:22 in San Marcos).
+ Additionally, a number of Bill's Texian Road Warriors have requested access as well. Maybe some of them will even start their own blogs! :) Welcome to the Comries, Alvarezs, Stiles and Scott Mayer so far.
