TATUR night run

Yesterday at 10:30pm I took part in my first official TATUR event, an informal night run organized by several of the “regulars”. The plan was to meet at the QuickTrip at 94th and Riverside and head east on the Creek Turnpike Trail about 7 miles before turning back. Though the temperature was kind of cool [...]

1. How would you describe your running 10 years ago? More regular, much faster, and more painful. I used to train 6x/week at a 1/7th-mile indoor track at The University of Texas at Austin. I’d regularly run half-marathons on the track holding a ~7:45/mile pace. I can remember how painful it was mile after mile [...]
