Friday Penguins Let Your Inner Child Out To Play! (Read 36 times)

    Jack - sounds like you found a good therapist.  How did your legs get so tied up in knots?  Race?

     

    T-Rod - at least in Houston, trail runs aren't likely to be steep and rocky.  Have fun.  Is it free for everyone, or did you get it as a 2 fer or race series?

     

    AFM:  I ended up doing 3.25 on the TM since I doubt I'll want to be running in the snow tomorrow.  By Sunday it should be gone, at least from the roads.

    Barking Mad To Run

      Scotty- its near rIchmond, tx. Just outside of Houston. At Brazos bend state park. It's a free race

       

      Tomas, you know why it's free, right?

       

      Cuz you might get eaten by Gators!

       

      I ran in that park a few years ago...and here are a few fellows I met along the way....these are photos I took of them along one of the trails......

       

       

       

       

       

       

      Definitely an inducement to run faster if they get too close to you!

        I got my 1 mile in and it was lovely Smile Lots of pre-emptive massage and icing in store for me tonight - I haven't gotten up the nerve to peel off the compression sleeves yet either. Felt good while I was running though; I feel about a million times stronger than I used to.

        I pick things up and put them down, and when I'm not broken I run.

        running is my prozac

          Yikes! I hear that alligators can run as fast as a horse for short distances!  Better wear some fast shoes on that trail

              5.71 done, 45 degrees and drizzle, it was kind of nice.

                2.1 miles easy, followed by 30 minutes of walking. Only need another mile over the next two days to beat my weekly mileage record.

                  Ginny: any number of things: too many miles, few rest days, old shoes, too many hills, age, lack of potassium, etc...

                    My first snow run ever, it was great!!  8.1 miles in the snow, and it was still snowing. Smile  Overdressed tho, just because it's snowing, doesn't mean you need a jacket lol  Running with a jacket tied around your waist is really annoying.
