Personal: I live and run in Houston, Texas and I have been on this blog for a year now. I have run 7 marathons, some good ones and plenty of the other kind, a lot of ups and downs for a flatlander. I prefer straight, flat, cold, sea-level marathons. So far I haven't found one. Even though I haven't found the perfect course, I have finally qualified for Boston -- everybody I know is relieved that I won't be talking about it anymore. I am now deciding what comes next. I want to run hard until I find my limit or until my family runs out of patience, whichever comes first. After that I will become a gentleman runner and fade gracefully into the sunset. Right.
My wife and I are from the mountains of the west. We have five kids, three grown, two granddaughters, a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law. They all live in Texas and they all think they are Texans (except for the in-laws), so I guess that makes mom and dad eligible for our green cards. We'll never be natives, but we did it for the kids. |
