5.3M |
easy
| 56:36
| AllenR
| SNG8 |

Palacios, Texas |
WR20 |
T=75-58, H=89-86% and mostly cloudy; quite slow with water carrier into a strong wind, going SE from
the Peaceful Pelican on East Bayshore Dr. which is quite a long road which is good for
8M run in Palacios as it is somewhat scenic, mostly going along the water of
the Tres Palacios Bay until being forced off, having to go along FM2853 for 0.3M before turning
around. |
5/17, 6:45a |
5.0M |
easy

|
5/21, 7:10a |
6.1M |
easy
| 1:07:17
| UH_DT3'
| R8 |
T=77, H=94% and overcast; before the torrential rain started; slightly different rounte
as the path to UH_DownTown on the north side of Buffalo Bayou is blocked off; a really bad run:
all I could master today was 11:00 pace and this even felt challenging; hopefully, nothing is wrong with me
but the conditions were quite bad...
|

Boulder Colorado |
BoBoo6 |
T=48-51, H=96-76% and partly cloudy. Not a good race; could not get going the first four miles,
and then had problems getting around people the last 2 miles when I was running faster! Ran 6.31M on my watch
and not 6.21M, mostly due to having to get around people.
21/139a: missed the 63-year old age group award (they have 15!!) by 94 seconds: if I had know that I might have ran
much faster today to win the award, as I lacked a little motivation in the middle of the race; nice bands on the course, but it
is somewhat unusual to run a race with alot of people around you the whole way.
|
5/30, 6:45a |
5.0M |
easy
| 1:02:12 (walked 0.5 miles)

10.1M |
easy
| 2:09:36 (walked 1.7M)
| Boulder Water Reservoir
| R8 |
T=81, H=44% and parly cloudy. Stuggled a lot in this run; had to walk most uphills in the second
half in quite warm conditions; however, it looked to me I was not that well adjusted to the Boulder
running conditions; felt quite exhausted after the run!

? |
Aspen |
Vasques |
T=73, H=56% had to abandon the Cathedral trail hike after going up for one mile, as I could not handle the
9,700+ foot on the trail and stopped being fun going up the mountain: probably, did too much yesterday when I covered more
than 11 miles! However, truely enjoyed beautiful views of mountains
and nice valleys and the floweres along Castle Creek Road! |

T=81-82; H=90% and partly cloudy. Start of the 2107/2018 Running Season! Averaged 11:30-pace on the non-walking miles, which
was expectably slow after not running for 7 days. New loop root going one Bridge further which
is 5.86M exactly. Only had a little over 60,000 steps in the Su-Sa week my watch uses, as swimming, and stretch/strength/Yoga-style workouts do not
produce many steps. Last run for SNG8, as the heel cushioning of the left shoe is signicantly damaged, and the back of the
shoe therefore creates heel friction! 183.8p!
