Tuesday Stationery Bike
I had to get back to doing something. The pain in my right hip has begun to subside, but I know that it is coming from my back and hips being out of whack.
Therefore, I got an hour in on the stationery bike at Bally's just to loosen things up.
While I was there, I saw two people that I knew but they didn't see me and one was going out (The Woodlands Running Club member Thomas McHale - another Penn Stater) and the other coming in (Scott Haney, who attends the same church that I do) before I had a chance to say something to either one of them.
So what in the world is going on?
+ We have the David's Dream 5K in The Woodlands on Saturday - the last leg of the spring version of the Montgomery County Triple. (Last I heard, Bill is running it.)
+ Rick Cook is back home from doing over 50 miles on the course of the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run on Saturday and Sunday. (When I talked to him late Sunday night, as he was getting ready to head to the Sacramento airport, he sounded great.)
+ Congratulations to Sarah for taking the Athena division at the Combat Triathlon in Texas City on Saturday. She rocked her closest competition by almost 9 minutes, burying her in T1 and the bike!
+ Diboll's Jeremy Webb, 26, grabbed second at the same event in his age group -- and 22nd overall. [Jeremy is Edwin's friend and maybe one of our future TIR teammates. Any status, Quarles?]
+ Did you know that Academy of Country Music New Male Vocalist of the Year winner Jack Ingram was a 1989 graduate of McCullough High School? The things you learn reading the Courier -- other than my column, of course. [And it will always be McCullough to me ... and not TWHS.]
+ At Sunday's CapTex Tri in Austin, The Woodlands' Claire Andrews, just 14, continues to kick butt and take names. She finished third overall in the Sprint division -- behind 17-year-old Clear Lake resident Jeannette Wacker. [Folks like Lance Armstrong were doing the same type of thing at their age. Right, Katy?] Wacker's father, Roger, 49, won the masters in fourth place overall -- one spot over The Woodlands' new arrival to town, Richard Mac Namee. Houston's Anne Ekern, who races about as much as our good friend, Lisa Tilton-McCarthy, took second in her age group.
+ At Bolder Boulder on Memorial Day, The Woodlands' Jim Braden, 72, was second in his "single" age group with a 10K time of 54:24.
+ Our own Joe Carey, aka "Gramps", was 44th in his 52-year-old single age group with a PR-setting time of 48:53. Joe's wife, Gerlinde, finished in 1:15:44.
+ Ms. Flicka, aka BARC beer wench Veronica Hoge, was 23rd in her Bolder Boulder debut with a time of 48:26 in the 38-year-old category. She was joined on the run by Gary Johnson and BARC president Carwyn Sharp.
+ HARRA At-Large Board Member Bruce Mansur, who I believe is still recovering from an injury, finished in 55:08.
+ Bill has come out with Deer Tracks (The Woodlands Running Club) for the month of May -- just in time (before the end of the month).
+ The Bay Area Running Club has just come out with their April edition of "Bay Area Running & Fitness" and it is their Texas Independence Relay newsletter. [I think you all need to go check out Joe's report! Pretty funny!]
+ Other good newsletters include Bayou City Road Runners (May), Houston Striders (May) and the Houston Masters Sports Association (May).
It's 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday night. I may update this later in the evening!

Houston Running Blogger Cassie Mondragon set a new record on Sunday. She ate 8 cupcakes in one day. I hate to think what that might do to her running pace.
Just thought I'd let you know, I LOVE Jack Ingram. Impressed? I heard a new one today to add to my bad list. "She's a Hottie" - Toby Keith....
She's sittin' by the water where the river gets wide,
thinkin' 'bout swimming to the other side,
Got a "Malboro" red, and a can of cold "Bud"
toes squished down in the Arkansas mud,
Hey Mister! Yeah, I kissed her !
Son! You ought to see her sister!!!...
Ya' gotta give a little something to a cold dog cat,
finding him a woman who can shake like that,
HOTTIE ! She's a Hottie !!! Got a smokin' little body !
String bikini and a barbed-wire tat (tatoo)
She's a rockin' that cowboy hat !
HOTTIE ! She's a Hottie !!! and just a little bit naughty !
Ki yi diggy diggy, Ki yi diggy diggy, yey HEY hey hey HEY ....
Another convert. :)
I'm actually going to do a post soon, "If I Had an iPod" ... lol
