Sunday I had the pleasure of running The Hottest Half down at White Rock Lake in Dallas. It was a 1/2 marathon-10k event that brought out over 600 runners for the half and nearly 300 for the 10k. A nice turnout for a local road event in the balmy Texas heat.
This morning highlighted the typical […]

Last weekend I took on a local 15k race called Too Hot To Handle and apparently it was. The aid stations ran out of water and/or cups for the BOPers. I heard about this after the race as the race director issued an explanation/apology on their website. At least they stepped up and took some […]

On Saturday I took on a local 4 mile road race called the DRC Bloomin 4 Mile. This is another one of the events put on by the Dallas Running Club. There were nearly 400 excited runners ready to take on the hot, humid, and windy conditions along the mostly flat shores of White […]

A few lessons hopefully learned from my Boston build-up and race:
3 high intensity sessions in one week (4 weeks from race) was not a wise idea. The full impact of that week didn’t fully manifest until two weeks later and then I was cooked with two weeks from race day. Not where you really want […]

On Monday April 21st, 2008 I completed my first Boston marathon. I am a relative marathon newbie with having done three standalone road marathons while only racing in one of them because the other two I was injured. Being fairly new to the sport, I knew some basics of the Boston marathon but was still […]

My first Boston marathon is in the books.

Dead legs.

Big crowds.

Big smile.
Sore legs.

In preparation for any race it is beneficial to know the course. One way of doing this is to read other people’s race reports. With Boston only about a month away, I thought I would hunt around and find some Boston race reports to add to the preparation toolkit. Enjoy!
I have grouped the reports by […]

After contacting the race director, I finally found out where the results for the Waco trail run were hidden.
My official finishing time was 5:07:41 (9:54 min/mile). A good enough time for 6th place overall.
First place was won by Pompilio Romero with a speedy time of 4:30:08 (8:42 min/mile).
You can see the complete results for […]

Saturday morning completed my three week block of racing. This little beauty is called the Waco Trail 5-0. 5-0 meaning 50k. This trail event is put on by Tim Neckar who is an accomplished endurance athlete so I was expecting it to be a well ran race.
I was able to car pool with Matt and […]

Saturday was the first official race start for the entire family at the Tal Morrison Classic! Wendy was running the 5k and Griffin and I took on the 15k.
Whenever we have something going on early in the morning, Griffin decides to sleep in. Funny stuff. Most mornings he wakes up between 6:15-6:30 am but on […]
