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. |

| 79F (74 DP), 84%, SW 5. Hot dry wind from the southwest. Short on time this week; ran 8.0 miles in 1:42:02, 12:46/mile, 121 bpm. So quite a bit slower than I finished up last week before the long run, but faster than the beginning of last week after the previous long run.

| 74F (74 DP), 100% and calm. 10.00 in 1:27:18, 8:44/mile, 160 bpm, 178 max. Took it a bit easier than yesterday, but still got in a 160+ heart rate run. Again, was in a hurry to get to work, really hard to get in a 2-hour run when there are early appointments to be met. Heading out of town tonight.

| TM run at a hotel in Tulsa, OK. 10.00 miles, starting out at 6 mph and ending at 9 mph. Probably ran too hard but was in a hurry to get to a meeting.

| Nothing today. Flight from Tulsa got in a midnight last night and I need my beauty sleep. Going long tomorrow.

| 73F, 93%, ENE 5 mph, 20 miles at 9:20 pace, heart rate about 152 average, hit 167 towards the end as I sped up. I planned to do these at 9:00, but my Garmin has an error message on it and won't give me a clock/GPS readout. Heart rate monitor worked fine, though, so I was able to judge my speed a little bit by heart rate and feel. But at the end of the run I had come in slow. Not that I wanted to do it any faster, probably just as good I didn't have a Garmin today, I would have outrun my fitness again like I did the last two weekends. It has been a long time since I could string 20 miles together in one run, so the primary goal today was distance rather than speed. Legs are sore but seem to be recovering quickly this afternoon.
