Weekend Workouts / General Information
The last two nights (Thursday and Friday) in the gym, I've watched - while riding the stationary bike (after running) - Michael Phelps win golds no. 6 and 7 as well as Dara Torres winning her semifinal in the 50-meter women's freestyle.
So what have I done the last three days?
Thursday - An hour run on the treadmill plus 20 minutes on the bike.
Friday - An hour run on the treadmill plus 20 minutes (hard) on the bike followed by another 10 minutes (easy, cardio) there as well.
Today - An hour run on the treadmill.
I almost pulled the trigger on going to run a half marathon that started at 12:30 a.m. Sunday morning Pacific time northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada - near Area 51.
It was the E.T. Full Moon Midnight Marathon and Half Marathon.
When I missed an opportunity on a certain reward travel combination, the travel connections just got more dicey. Therefore, I just decided to stay home.
This weekend was the first one in four years that I didn't run the News and Sentinel Half Marathon in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Actually, I was able to get a 25,000-mile reward flight into Columbus, Ohio, but frankly it was fun to do the event because Cassie and Manny were there.
It's a great, down-to-earth, all-American town and it's a great race; however, not this year. It would be fun to have a bunch of us go there and run that race as a group. :)
On Friday morning, I was at Conroe's Carl Barton Park to meet with Lauren Arnold from the City of Conroe's Parks and Recreation Department and Bill and Dana-Sue Crews (and their son, Dylan).
I was there for Bill and Dana-Sue to see the park as the site of the Bill Crews Remission Run 5K that will take place on Saturday, January 31, 2009. It will be a celebration of Bill's fifth year of remission of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. One of the things that will be very interesting is that it will be a trail run that in some parts will be a single track that may be a little bit more narrow than Huntsville State Park.
I'm very honored to be included on the Committee (which we will be meeting tomorrow afternoon) that will be putting together the race. Waverly will actually be trying to recruit, as Student Council President this year, her fellow student council members to volunteer for the race.
And finally, Footprints is pretty much put together for the September edition. Edwin wrote a really, really good story about Chevron Houston Marathon masters winner John Hill of Kingwood. We also have a first-hand account of Luis Armenteros' workout with Kara Goucher and Galen Rupp and hanging out with Alberto Salazar while they were all here in Houston. (If this is the second time that I mentioned this, I apologize.)
