Pass the malaise, please

My training is in the crapper. After weeks of not being busy with work, now I am working 12-hour days and usually don’t see sunlight during the week (unless I leave the building). This weekend I was busy and didn’t have time for a training run. I had scheduled to run with Deborah on Saturday [...]
Double at White Rock Lake

This morning we decided to get an early start as Goutham had a plans at 1pm. So we met at 6am to gear up for at least a couple of loops for 19 miles. We decided if we felt like it, a third loop may be in order. Also joining us was Goutham’s friend Matt, [...]
Rain and cold keeping me inside
Posted by Brad in Training on 19. Jan, 2007 | 0 Comments
I can remember a time when I loved to run in the rain. At the first opportunity to get out in it, I’d head to Town Lake and go for a nice cooling run of 8 miles or more. But lately, in addition to the cold, I have been dreading the rain. Nothing is appealing [...]
The cold weather should be no excuse

I’ve been meaning to get out and test my pedometer watch a bit more but the cold weather and wet conditions have provided enough excuses for me to stay inside and work sudoku puzzles or read books (work has been slow this week). After missing Bandera, I know I’m in need of a long run [...]
Silva Tech4O watch test

I recently purchased a Silva Tech4O AcceleratorTM series watch in an attempt to more accurately measure my runs on trails of unknown distance. I’ve tried using my Garmin GPSMap 60Cx, but it has limited accuracy under tree cover, often lopping off 50% or more of the mileage. At only $50, I figured the watch was [...]
Almost time for new shoes

As my current pair of trail shoes nears the 300-mile mark, I am starting to consider a replacement. My consideration list includes the Montrail Hardrock, the Montrail Continental Divide, and The North Face Ultra 103. Montrail Hardrock I currently run in the Hardrock and have not had any problems with it. I like the fit [...]
Easy run around White Rock Lake
Posted by Brad in Injuries, Training on 06. Jan, 2007 | 0 Comments
Today’s run was a nice easy single loop around White Rock Lake. I met Deborah and Goutham at the dog park around noon. We headed counter-clockwise just as we’d done last week, but without the White Rock Creek Trail section and all the mud. The run started out nice and easy and we were holding [...]
