T=45+ and overcast and damp, but did not rain. Was overdressed
and was sweating too much in my Sub4 rain-protection; ran okay but not really good today. Due
to the bad weather forcast I decided to move the 17M long run to Wednesday, January 7.
The right knee that had the collision with the glass door on Dec. 22 is still not 100%. |

T=41+, sunny with very cold wind. Finally, participating in a BCRR Sunday Morning run!
Unfortunatly, my left hamstring started to feel tight and sore after running 5 miles, and
after jogging two more miles, I decided to walk the last 3 miles: this could
be trouble for the Houston Marathon; I will take an extra restday, and try to run again
on Wednesday, hoping for the best! |

T=48 and damp after a lot of rain since 6a; started very slowly trying to see
if the left hamstring could handle running, but picked up the pace significantly
in the second half of today's run; good news the hamstring was still somewhat tight but did not hurt

T=74-75-66-65-66, very warm and damp and then very serious thunderstorms followed by normal thunderstorns, then
light rain the last 30 minutes! Running in heavy thurderstorms with 40 miles per hour tailwind and a lot
of lightnings one hour into the race: the temperature dropped by 9 degrees; then slushing trail with a lot
of puddles the last 120 minutes; overall, a decent run considering the conditions; also misjudged the distance
and did not pick up the pace, when I was close to the finish line, thinking I still had 2 miles
to go; 69/209o. |
