Brief Saturday Update
I am in Oklahoma City this evening for tomorrow morning's 8th annual Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon and no, I'm not running the half again this year.
Earlier today, I left Spring at 4 a.m. to witness the USA Track and Field National Masters 10K Championship and to see Norman Langwell, Jr., of Huntsville, run in the Texas Roundup 10K.
I saw Sean Wade, of Houston, and Colleen DeReuck, of Colorado, win their respective national championships. The Tornados' Miguel Lopez, Terlingua's Ino Cantu and the Striders' Sabra Harvey all competed.
Norman received his award from Governor Perry on Friday and beat him on the course on Saturday. Langwell, Jr. covered the tough 10K course in 47:38 while the Governor, who wasn't wearing a chip it seems, did indeed come in behind Norman. Norman's son, Colton, ran the course in 53:38 and was fourth in his age group.
Seven Hills' Garland Spivey, 45, of Huntsville also finished in 1:00:12.
Norman's daughters, Chantel, 15, and Deanna, 13, both ran the 5K and finished in 32:51 and 32:55, respectively, to both finish fourth in their age groups. His wife, Millie, 34, finished in 40:22.
Then I got in the car and drove to Oklahoma City. Yes, I know. Crazy, but we only live once. Got here at about 3 p.m., and was registered shortly thereafter.
I spoke with the Chevron Houston Marathon's Jan Nierling, Dallas White Rock Marathon's Marcus Grunwald and Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon co-founder Thomas Hill III.
So there you have it. We'll now see what tomorrow holds.
I heard Karen Felicidario - from Bill, of course - like Katy a few weeks ago busted a gut (not that she has one, mind you) and nailed a healthy new 5K PR of 26:29 at Run The Woodlands 5K today.
And then reading Karen's report, I see that Holden cracked 24 minutes with a 23:53.
Maybe our TIR team will go sub 31 in March 2009. Right Edwin? ;)
