Thank God for Cotton!

We went to the Pavillion last night. I just LOVE that feeling of sweat running down the middle of my back....BLEECK! Eventually there was a nice breeze. Once back home, it was every person for themself to see who could get in the shower first. It's not even August yet...too soon to complain I think. You KNOW we've got at least 2 more months of this to get through!

2 months? LOL how bout the rest of the year - if anyone has lived in Texas long enough, they'll realize summer never quits LOL or atleast the feel of summer - I remember middle of december it being 95 degrees (granted a week later it was back to 40-50 degrees but still). I use my A/C almost year round. Sometimes I think we don't need heaters in this part of the country

 

[someplace]

I meant the worst part, of course. We all know it'll get to a more manageable temp about October -- high in the 80's maybe instead of high 90s, low 100s like yesterday. I don't want to know what my electric bill will be next month!

i agree with you totally someplace and by the way you are a very sexy lady

 

[EriMaleTx]

Yeah, I don't know why I picked my highest running mileage to be at the same time as the highest heat, but I just couldn't do it! No more running twice a day for me until it cools down!

Anyone else planning on the marathon this January?

Been there and done that! I know about the training in the summer time...it is a bitch but well worth it. I did it in 2002 which had nice weather so we'll see what you end up with. Is this your first one?

 

[EriMaleTx]

This is my first marathon, but I've been running competitively for about 10 years (middle school through college), although I am not fast at all for a runner (was one of the slowest on my Division III team).

I hope to run 7 minute mile pace, which will qualify me for Boston, but we'll see. My training seems to indicate that this should be a very doable goal.

Thanks for asking. I hope your marathon was good. Ever think about running another one? I was going to run last year's marathon, but events transpired against me. That shouldn't happen this year.

 

[wildwesty]

I have thought about it but then I think about all the training involved with it which doesn't really leave me a lot of time during school when I have so little to spare. For now I run for health and pleasure which is lots of fun. I ran the race to finish it so nowhere close to a 7 minute pace. I will say that the last 6 miles are all mental but they are rough. The crowd is great though. Are you training with a group?

 

[curiouslylookin]

Good evening Texas.

*waves*

I just found this thread... figured I'd better put my "hello's" in now, before someone found me and spanked me for not doing so!

I've heard that the last 6 miles are the toughest. I haven't found a good group to train with, so I am following a book and training on my own right now. Running does take a lot of time out of my schedule, but I find that it's hard to keep a good daily routine without running everyday, so I often get more done when I'm training.

If you want to find a group, hit up Fleet Feet Sports and they can help you find information on how to contact a group. The other way is to call the Galloway Group or check them out online...very helpful for the longer distances when things get to be very boring. I would avoid Houston Fit, they are too big to be any real fun as far as I have heard from several people. Good luck in training though!
