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. |

| 75F, 88%, SSE 9 mph. 6.18 miles at 10:00. On a whim I took the family dog, a border collie. I wonder if 6 miles in the humidity was a good run to break her in? She did fine, but had sore paws later in the day, which probably amounts to some kind of a violation on my part. | | Add Comment |

| 73F, 94%, E 3. 10.77 miles in 1:51:53, 10:24/mile. 55 RHR; 140/150. Worst run in a while, just too much fatigue left from yesterday, I assume, though it wasn't like I ran hard yesterday or today. Left the house and headed to the YMCA the long way. My back was starting to speak to me and I needed to help my nephew move, so I called it a day -- woke my wife up and she drove to the Y and picked me up. Did not feel good at all despite intentionally taking things very slow. A run like this makes me wonder what is going to happen, but it's only one run. | | Add Comment |
