Rocky Raccoon 100 Trails
Since I run trails at Huntsville State Park on a regular basis I figured I should update runners on the conditions at the park.
I ran 6 miles which covered many sections of the RR100. Trails are pretty good despite a few lower trail areas with mud. I also saw about 10 hogs (8 small ones and 2 adults).
Finished my run in 1:03:22. Not terribly fast but I stopped to talk to some runners.

What Have I Run This Week?
What a slow week of running for me. I travelled all this week for work, so I had a little bit of a difficult time finding time to run. Monday it was raining, so I skipped the run. Tuesday I was traveling all day and didn’t make it anywhere in time for a run.
Wednesday I was able to run. I went to the Palo Duro Canyon and ran 5 miles. Saw a couple other runners out there. I made it just...
Two-A-Days
AM: 4 miles with Hank in 33:12.
PM: 3 miles solo in 23:57.
Running and Racing Pt 2
Yesterday I went to the Run the Woodlands 5K but showed up late, so I had to wait for everyone to get past the parking lot area. This put me about several minutes behind where I would normally be. I finished in 33:06 but my watch time was 25:25:25. I finished one person behind my friend Ken.
I’m heading out for a 4 mile run this morning. I’ll post the time later.
Running and Racing Pt 1
On Wednesday (Jan 19) I ran three miles in the neighborhood without Willie. I did it in 25:46. Didn’t go out too fast or hard. I have signed up for a marathon on January 1, 2012, so I’ve got a race in the distant future to think about. I should have some more before then.
Two Runs
I ran in the neighborhood on Sunday and finished a 3 mile run in 24:01. Today I went to the park and ran some very wet, and in some places muddy, trails. We went five miles in 38:32. Not too bad for messy trails.
Today an easy three
Woke up this morning and ran three untimed miles. Not too bad for a Saturday morning when I’m not training for anything.
4 miles in the neighborhood
I was thinking about running the 3 mile loop this morning because of how cold it is, but I convinced myself that if I just added an extra mile to each of my runs my yearly total would change by like 300 miles. Of course, I won’t do this each time but I was able to today. Went slow and was very cold.
Catching up on Runs
So, on the 3rd of January I ran 3 miles with Phillip but that got posted on the 4th.
On the 4th, I went out to the State Park at 3:30PM so that I could get a 5 mile run in before they closed. It was a little over 5 miles in 48:36.
The 5th I ran 4 miles without a time taken in the neighborhood.
The 7th I went out to the park and ran 6 miles by myself. I ended up doing that in 1:01.
The 8th I...
3 with Phillip
Went to the park to run the trails and went three miles. Phillip wanted to go easy on his legs because of his marathon this past weekend. That was alright with me because I didn’t want to go far. We still ran it fast!
Running in the New Year
2011 is here and I’m off running. This morning, I ran 6 miles on tue trails. I didn’t take a watch but I kept an honest pace. It was nice an cold so I wore a wind breaker and gloves with a hat.
Then this evening, I went and ran a 5K in 24:40. It was spurred by Lea from my running club who wouldn’t let me drop her.
