| I'm not going to write up a race report for this one. Since SGM, I've run very little, and have been have some nagging calf/shin issues. So, I've been taking it easy for a couple weeks, just hoping to be able to finish this half marathon without walking the whole thing. Tom Slick came from Utah to run the full White Rock Marathon. As it hadn't rained all year, who would guess that we'd get rain in December? Well, it rained...for the entire 13.1 miles!! It was about 42 degrees, and I felt ... soggy. I wore a freebie poncho for 13 of the 13.1 mile--only removing it for the finish photo. I was hoping to break 2 hours, and I actually finished in about 1:49 (I haven't even checked the official results, as it was a training run). I walked a few times, but overall am glad that I finished it. Tom Slick did great -- and it was fun having him around to add his unique flavor to the event! Next up is Houston Marathon on January 15th, then Cowtown pacing in Feb. I need to start ramping up. Oh, the legs feel a little tight, but nowhere near as bad as when I ran 7 miles at Thanksgiving. time to ramp up the miles!

Lunchtime run w/ Darin. Calves felt a little tight, but not unusually bad. I'm hopeful the calf issue is behind me. We ran 2 miles out, then walked 1/2 mile, then the 2 miles back in.

Lunchtime run w/ Darin. The weather was nice. I've lost some of my speed in the past few months, and the run today felt like a tempo run, but was barely faster than my MP. It'll come back.
