Houston Marathon - Roll Call

[MirrOlure]

I'll be shooting for a PR of in the 3:50 range (age 42), which I know is rather pedestrian compared to some of the gazelles we have around here.


Who else is running this Sunday?

i'll be with you in spirit

i would kill for a PR of 3:50.

I continue to hover at the 4:15 mark (age 40)

Good luck and don't start out to fast.

I should clarify that 3:50 will only be possible for me if the conditions are perfect, and my right IT-band, which has been silent for 10 months, doesn't decide to go haywire!

Good luck,

I am scheduled to do the Austin Marathon (plantar fascia issues makes it a 50/50 prop). Good luck.

I'm doing the half and shooting for a 1:35 although I'd be happy with anything under 1:38.

Good luck guys!

I hope the conditions are better than for the Dallas WR last month. It was very warm and the 2nd half of the race was into about 25 mph wind; it was brutal. I won't even say how far off my time goal I was.

26.2 Pit Crew here.

My wife is running. This will be her 18th marathon. She will be running the Austin 1/2 and Boston in April. I am so proud of her.

Good luck and have fun to all who are participating this Sunday. Hopefully the rain will stay away.

For me, i would much rather run a marathon in 25 degree weather than 70 degree weather.

Running in hot weather is the worst. I have a hard time training for Fall marathons in Texas.

 

[MirrOlure]

The training weather was exceptional this year in Texas, from September through just before Christmas.....then it got hot and humid.

I agree with your assessment 100%. Looks like start time temp will be in the mid 40's Sunday. A little worried about wind and drizzle!

good luck to all running this event!
