It’s been over two three weeks and I still haven’t posted up my proper race report of the Boston Marathon. I’m such a slacker. Quite honestly I have written more blog posts in the last two weeks than in the last 4 months so being 2 weeks late with a race report, when there was [...]
That’s right! I’m proud to present not one, not two, three or for but five new fresh personal best times from this weekend. Well they aren’t all mine but they’re very close to my heart so I feel the need to talk about them all. The first four happened at our local 5K, the Aledo [...]
Cliff notes: second marathon in 5 weeks, a PR by almost 2 minutes despite some utter BS unnaceptable race situation and a serious bonk. 3:05:28 9/223 overall, 2/18 in age group. Last Sunday, 5 weeks after my Tyler marathon debut, I ran a second marathon, the Fort Worth Marathon. I usually give a play by [...]
Well this is it! All good things must come to an end. My 18 week training was finally coming to a culmination on 10/10/10 at 7:30AM when I ran the Inaugural Tyler Rose Marathon in Tyler, TX. The Cliff Notes version is that I ran a 7:09/mile average for a 3:07:26 which is indeed a [...]
I’ve been slacking with the postings but I certainly haven’t been slacking with my running! Last weekend I ran a 25K race at midnight and the weekend before that I ran a 1.3 mile race at noon. You could call these the ultimate extremes, one at high noon for the shortest distance I have ever [...]
I’ve been doing a lot of 5K and 10K races during the spring and I finally got up to where I felt confident trying something longer. So last Saturday I went to San Antonio, TX to run the 10th Annual SARR Carrabba’s Classic Half Marathon. Since it was my first it was naturally a personal [...]
Last Saturday I ran a truly great 5K race that I kind of knew was going to be close to impossible to top on Monday in the 10K just two days after that 18:13 5K. Monday morning I drove to Arlington, TX to run the American Heroes 10K race. There just aren’t that many 10K [...]
The weekend before last I ran a 5K on a whim and ended with a PR of 19:05 that was 24 seconds better than my last one. Last weekend I had a planned 5K and I hoped to beat that 5K time. I had high hopes due to the nature of the course. It was [...]
I wasn’t going to race this last weekend but I ended up running a 5K. After last Saturday’s 10K my 5 year old son, expressed great interest in wanting to run with dad. So last Sunday I took him to the local track after my 8 mile long run where he promptly got side stitches [...]
I ran a 10K race last Saturday. Well I actually ran an almost 10K. The course was supposed to be 6.214 miles but it ended up being only 6.05 miles. That is what the measurement was on my Polar RS800cx with the calibrated footpod and it is the same measurement that I got once I [...]
