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. |

57F, 50%, NNW 4 mph. In Chicago for a conference, 10.8 miles @ 8:50 pace, had to extrapolate some because the Garmin did not like the new location. Ran from downtown south along the lakefront, past Soldier Field and McCormick Place out onto a point then back. Good run. Got hot at the end in the sunlight, even though the temperature was very moderate. 158 bpm, 171 max. | Add Comment |

| 69F, 86%, NE 11 mph, 6.18 miles in 59:01, 9:33/mile, 56 RHR, 143/153, ran one windsprint at the end, which was pretty awkward. That's how I know I'm out of shape, no smooth 5K pace. | Add Comment |

| 61F, 88%, NNW 6 mph. Visiting daughter and family in Temple. Got up late and ran 13.03 miles in 2:09:31, 9:56/mile. RHR 55, 143/157. Was planning on 10, then started texting with my daughter close to the end, and she came out and joined me for 3 more. The speed fell precipitously (my fault, not hers), but the conversation improved dramatically. | Add Comment |
