Did it! Actually, the goal was 20 miles, but it looked like I'd end a loop with 20.6 miles so I did a short out and back to get to 21.1 miles. It was slow but I got it done. I spent the whole run wishing I was an ultra-runner; I mean a good ultra- runner. Me? I barely survive, but I am going to keep...

Yeah, here is another story about an older athlete. I collect these as inspiration for me to keep going.

The alarm went off at 4:30 and I got up! Made it to Brummerhop park by 5:45. 3 hours, 14 miles and 40 oz of water, time for a shower.... maybe a little treadmill walking later.

Yes! The Friday run in a park in daylight!
Beautiful sun rise over the bay.
6.33 miles

Have a great day today, Spirit, Happy 4th to me. So far, I slept in. Worked on my project. Did 90 minutes of machines and 90 min of running on the tm. Showered and now eating. I am wearing my stars and striped Marathon Maniacs shirt. America is filled with beautiful people and beautiful scenery. Un...

32k on the treadmill.

Do you accept American donations?

Happy birthday Canada!

It started getting warm towards the end.

I don't know what got into me this morning. Mile 1 was the usual slow barely breaking 13 min/mile. But then.... mile 2 at 11:25. Mile 3 at 11:07. Mile 4 at 10:21. Mile 5 at 10:59. I forgot to look at mile 6. Mile 7 was slower at 11:27, but still, wow! All this in steamy Seabrook where the low at nig...

Nice shirt! Glad you had a good time.

Yup! WFH Friday affords me a run in the park. Today: 72 minutes of not very fast running.

Totally believable that it is hot and humid here. I don't want to know the real feel. 5.5 hours done.

That is hilly! And beautiful. Cute dog too.

Thanks for the report.

Why haven't the pics been posted?

I didn't beat the heat at all, but I did survive.

I was happy to go for a run outside in a park this morning. I got to see a red sunrise over Galveston bay. The red color reflected off windows in the distance to the right, so part of the coast looked like a string for fire diamonds. I also saw a herd of 6 deer. Many bunny rabbits. And the usual con...

Happy racing and visiting SD.

I hope those flies are gone too. Report back on how this went. I'm with you vicariously.

I'll be heading out after church/lunch for a run.

I'm home from Dallas. My 81st marathon done slowly in a warm rain.

Is "porch" an American/Texan thing? Habs always calls it her deck.

I say, "front porch" and "back deck."

Porch is probably a California thing.

Lets start with the back of the Red Deer marathon shirt: https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XEzHAxhyYRs/WSW_lnjZN3I/AAAAAAAACnA/fj4mSZX1r4AfvaQz6NkhBJpJy1AjgcAVACK4B/s320/shirt.jpg Way back in January, I thought, "I'd like to see Habs. But if I want to see Habs, I have to go in the Red Deer marathon be...

Good job on your race. And nice to meet you. Finally, I met IC! I'll do a burpee on you.

Spirit is resting in the international lounge at IAH

See y'all soon. So excited to go to Canada. I've been away for 3 weeks!

Hey, I've been training for the MB marathon coming up in June and I completed my weekly long run yesterday (9 miles) and then played two games of softball in a tournament. Anyways, when I got home and took off my shoes and socks I had a fairly large blister on my second last toe, right on the botto...

Yes I got a sweaty run on Seabrook trails this morning!
