I was pleased to see that everyone seemed to have a good 18 miler yesterday. The group looks strong, neighborhood hills and all! If we can repeat that distance (18-20) a couple more times so that it seems fairly routine (both physically and mentally) we should all breeze through Cowtown. I like the idea of including the streets and hills in the long runs....it makes you much stronger. I also hope we have a day like yesterday for the race....conditions were very good....about the right temperature, not too humid, breezy but not a strong wind, overcast.
I also want to congratulate an ex-running partner on an unbelievable run in Houston this morning! The running gods were smiling on Texas this weekend....lets hope for another cycle on Feb 28!

Good race day conditions only if it's above 70! :) Yeah, hopefully C. Jim will keep us on some pavement for the rest of the long ones -- invaluable for expectations on race day. To my group: Each and every one of you ROCKED today. Took you out fast, first 8.77 @10:00 pace, everyone finished strong. You guys are going to have a fantastic race experience. Keep it up -- almost there!
