Personal: I live, work and run in Houston, Texas. I have run 17 marathons, some good ones and some others. I prefer straight, flat, cold, sea-level marathons, still waiting for my first one. I feel like there are more PRs out there. When I have them, I am told it is time to dial it back, run for healthy reasons. I'm sure that's right, and I'm sure it won't happen.
My wife and I are from the mountains of the west. We have five kids, three granddaughters and three grandsons. The kids and grandkids are native Texans but we are not -- you have to be born here.
As for my blog title: I run most of my miles before sunrise, sometimes hours before. On the back road of my neighborhood two hours before daylight, I can depend on a pack of mutts behind the boundary fence lighting up when they hear my footsteps. I have wondered what they wanted; but according to Hemingway I needn't ask. |

69F, 96% and calm. 14.07 miles in 2:17:28, 9:46/mile 150/167, 55 bpm resting. 171 pounds, 14 over fighting weight. So this is where I am. I missed the prime running season this year in Houston. I plan to run Boston next year, but I now need to re-qualify. It will probably take 8:15/mile to do it. I might could have run 9:00 today if it were a race and I didn't care about the rest of my life. So that is the task, double the distance and take a minute off, by September -- no problem. | | Comments(2) |

| 61F, 100%, S 3 mph. Not too warm but extremely muggy out there, I don't think I understand well enough how humidity works. Ran 10.00 miles in 1:38:11, 9:49/mile, 144 bpm, 150 max (resting 55). Was hoping for a lower heart rate but this is OK for now. | | Comments(3) |
