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. |

| 56F, 62% (DP 42F), NNE 2 mph. Did 10 at long run pace this morning, 8:39/mile, 140 bpm average, 151 max, so quite a bit better than Saturday. Felt much better, though neck is still stiff, personality quirk undoubtedly. Next goal race is the Dubai marathon on January 22, need to set up a training schedule. I am thinking shorter miles but longer long runs. Lots of fast stuff, and lots of gym work. Also try (again) to lose 5 pounds.

| 76F, 94% (DP 74F), NE gusting to 10 mph. We are fixin' to get some serious rain, at least if the weatherman is to be believed. Got in late last night, it was warm outside and I was tired, so only ran 10. Did it at a pretty brisk pace, though, 8:14. Nothing over 8:20 after the first mile. HR max 171 during the last two splits.
