Just found this link to Marathons of Texas and I am vaguely interested. I haven’t done nearly the training that I wanted to this year, so I am surely going to be above 5 hours again. I just hope to get a PB (beat my last years time since this will be #2).
Ran yesterday morning before the heat kicked in with Schroeder in his running stroller. First real run with him since the weather is just now staying cool into the mornings. We both enjoyed it, but my arms and chest were tight. At the end of the run, Schroeder’s comment was “Run more!”.
So I ran the short route yesterday in right at 51 minutes! I ran the whole way, no intervals. I really got into a nice groove and had great fun listening to Software Engineering Radio, one of the many podcasts that I don’t often get to listen to unless I run. One of the ‘hills’ kicked my butt pretty hard, but I pushed on through it. I actually did better than I was thinking since I thought the course was 4.2 miles rather than 4.68, so I didn’t drop a full mile and did drop 14-15 minutes.
