2008 Results / Calendar
Please remember that the RunHouston Chronicle blog can be found here!
This is where I'll keep up with my results for the year as well as an upcoming calendar. I've decided to do some grading to my results to maybe keep me motivated to work on improving them. If I'm within 2.5% of my PR, I'll give myself an "A". Five percent? A "B" and so on. ("PD" = Pacing Duties)
My PR's are 28:17 (5K), 58:30 (10K), 2:09:58 (Half) and 4:47:32 (Marathon).

Jon- best of luck this weekend. While you're out punishing yourself on the trails I'll be doing the same in liters of booze at Mardi Gras. Have fun and be careful and safe and stay healthy for TIR!
Good luck at Rocky. Maybe you can keep up with Tony Krupicka if he is running. His blog went silent a couple of weeks ago when he said he trashed his shin.
Anyway have fun.
Do you have a "review" of the San Antonio marathon?
Anna, I've never run it before. The weather, I'm told, is always a crap shoot. I signed up because it was cheap then - $65!
I'll give you an A+ for number of races entered and finished in 2008...
You, sir, are a running machine!
If only I could borrow some of those miles to credit toward my 366.
You're a little too tough on yourself with this grading system, me thinks.
A+ for all you do. It's amazing you find time to run at all with your writing and social events schedule.
