1 week 'til Cowtown. Ran an easy 10 miles this morning in the heat, humidity, and wind of north Texas. It wasn't too bad, and I'm hoping conditions improve by next week. It was about 60 at 7:30am, and 90% humidity. The 8:20 pace I was trying to hold was a little tough going into the wind, but fine otherwise.
This afternoon I met Darin at the start of the Cowtown Marathon and we rode our bikes over the new course. It took us almost 3 hours to cover the 26.2. The course isn't too bad. lots of litte ups and downs and 1 or 2 significant uphills (mile 9 is the biggest, but nowhere near Veyo at SGM). It was good to see the new course, at least now I know what to expect.
The biggest concern now is for raceday weather. I'd hate to have Tom Slick come all the way from Sandy City to Ft Worth for a hot, humid race. Here's to hoping for 40's, low wind, and overcast skies!

| Solo run at lunchtime. I decided to take the first 2 miles at a comfortable 8:00 pace, then picked it up for the last 5. Weather was nice. It was 60F, 10 mph breeze from the South, sunny -- humidity was down from Monday's run. 5 days 'til Cowtown. The weather gypsies are not currently my friends. Temps should start in the mid 50's and possibility of rain. Which usually means high humidity :). It's still 5 days out, plenty of time for a revised forecast. 8:01, 7:59, 7:52, 7:33, 7:27, 7:11, 6:32

Picked up Slick at DFW yesterday, then took him site-seeing. We went to the expo and picked up our packets, walked around a bit, bought a few things, then we drove the marthon route (with a break for some Asian noodles).
It is almost ideal running weather...but that is today (Saturday). Its 38F now, with nearly no wind, 80% humidity, getting up to 75 today. BUT..the overnight low in Ft Worth is supposed to be 63F, 90% humidity, 12-18MPH wind. I can't help but stress about the weather..but there's nothing I can do about it. We'll do our best tomorrow and see how it goes!
Going to spend some time with the boys today (they have a basketball game this morning, and a soccer game this afternoon, then Slick and I will be heading to Ft Worth for the night. | |
