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. |

| 58F, 100% and calm. Met Wade at 6:10 and ran 6 miles in a garage, which consisted of an up-ramp, then a long run around the garage to the next up-ramp, 4 of those, then the same thing down, 7 circuits in total. We have big garages here, this one was on the HP campus halfway between my house and the Y. When I got home I ran 4.2 more untimed in the neighborhood. Legs felt like I lifted weights. | Add Comment |

| 58F, 100% and calm. Ran 5.08 easy, then 4.92 at GMP, but only hit 7:38 pace. More of a mental thing than anything else, plus I don't know how fast I am going until I finish and figure it out. | Add Comment |

| 68F, 100% and calm. Ran to Wade's house and we ran to the Y, met the group there and ran back, peeled off and ran back to Wade's house, then I ran the rest of it in my neighborhood. Wade got 14, longest run in a year for him. Weather is warmer, but I don't think it will hit the 70s again, at least not on a sustained basis. 20.14 miles at around 9:10 I think, didn't time it but judging from the splits Wade was getting. Didn't feel good the whole run, I think garages on Thursday and then 5 hard yesterday took their toll. By noon I was feeling much better and walking like normal. Next Saturday will be a hard one like a week ago, then 3 more weeks until my last hard long run. | Comments(1) |
