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. |

| Hotel TM in Guatemala City. 7.16 miles in 1 hour (8:23/mile). Elevation is 5,000 feet here. It was a shock at first, then seemed generally OK. I'll see how I feel later in the day.

| 67F, 87%, (DP 63F), calm breeze from N. Nothing Tuesday and Wednesday while traveling. Met Wade for an hour of running back in Houston this morning, 8.22 miles at 8:22/mile! First and last time I will ever get that combination, still smiling this afternoon.

| 72F, 90% (DP 69F), calm breeze NE. Three wu: 9:33, 8:37 and 8:11, followed by 5 tempo miles: 7:33 (157), 7:27 (162), 7:30 (166), 7:16 (171) and 7:06 (175), max 177 HR, then 2 cd: 8:27, 8:36. Overall time 1:20:18, 8:02/mile. Slept in late and felt lethargic, so good run under the circumstances. Need to do more of these.
PM: 5 downhill on TM at 7:30 pace. Left ham starting to protest a little bit.

| 75F, 82% (DP 70F), SW 3 mph. Started very early, ran 8 and met Wade for 10 more. Very fatigued, could not maintain a decent pace, so we slowed down to 10+ pace. Then at mile 18 the run was terminated with a sharp pain in my left hamstring. I quit immediately, hopefully salvaged it. 9:27/mile overall.
