1/6/07: Last Long Run-River Oaks 9 Miler?!
So the question mark in the title comes from the fact that this is pretty widely known as a 11.3 mile route in the Strider circle, but somehow I made it into an even 9 miles. Am I complaining? No way. 9 Miles with my fellow Striders and running buddy Strider Hillary in good cool weather in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Houston with a fabulous IHOP breakfast afterwards is always my idea of a good time! This training run will always last in my mind as a good memory of training for the 2007 Houston Marathon!
Less then a week away from the Big Day as I write this…got my confirmation card and my bib #:6135! Looks like a good number to me! Pasta parties are all the rage this week, with the SMARTie one on Thursday, HRB’s on Friday and Striders on Saturday! Hip-hip-hooray as I eat my way to carbo-loading bliss!
THE STATS:
9 miles
About 1:32 running
Heart-rate: n/a
Weather: cool.

The River Oaks route is loaded with short cuts so 9 miles may have been correct. No short cuts next Sunday :-O

Remember to have fun on Sunday. You will have a much better time (in more ways than one), if you relax and enjoy yourself.

Flying into Houston tomorrow (Friday) from frigid Seattle for the race. I am so looking forward to this as I had to cancel last year. How close are the pasta feeds to the Hyatt ?

John-
If you are staying in the Hyatt-DT, you will be about a $4.00 taxi ride from the pasta dinner sponsered by the Marathon.
Best wishes, and let's all hope that some of the Seattle cold comes with you:)
