One Bad Dude
I didn’t decide to run the Ft Worth Zoo Run 10k till about 2 weeks ago. I had some friends and coworkers ask me if I was running and finally I signed up. I haven’t done much distance running since my half-marathon in November. Partly because I wanted to heal up and partly because I was just getting lazy in my running. So I put together a two week crash course to get back close to the times I ran last year. I focused mostly on speed work and hills. I think I got one 6 mile run over the last two weeks. Read more
Inside the Cowtown 10K
I was up at 5am this morning and on the road by 6:30am. The race started at 7:30am. About 6:40 I found a traffic jam heading into downtown Fort Worth. It was at this point I decided that if I race again, I will have someone drop me off. Many people were getting out of their cars and running to the starting line while a family member or friend took over to get out of the traffic.
I drove around and found a spot where a parking meter used to be and hoped that the police would be too busy with traffic to give me a ticket. I walked/jogged to the start line and made it with about three minutes to spare.
