Dallas Rock n' Roll Half Marathon.
Last tent comments. Before the race they have bagles, peanut butter, jelly and such. They also have banannas and oranges. There is bottled water, power aid and Coke products. After the race this year they had scrambled eggs and potatos. Last year th…
I did the runners retreat tent last year and this year. It is very nice to have this tent. The food was much better last year. This year Disney got cheap with the food. But it was a great help to get in out of the wind and cold. Here is a photo of t…
Gotta be a great run for a guy. About 12,000 women to look at.
Is the Princess route any different than the half we ran last week?
I finished today. Took 5:45 in sub freezing weather. I hurt but I have my Goofy Medal.
I'm excited and pumped!
Profile Information
- About Me
- I’m 51 years old. About 4 years ago I weighed a bit over 370 pounds. I lost about 150 and currently weigh 220. I started walking a year into weight loss. Walking became walking faster. Walking faster became running, or is it jogging. I’m not built for speed. A 9 minute mile is very fast for me. But I have been able to build up my endurance. I have completed three full marathons. I ran in one half marathon. I’ve run many training sessions longer than 13.1 miles. I guess I’m cheap since I can stand to pay a $50+ registration fee to just run a half when I can do it any weekend for free on my on. My current goal is to go back to Disney World in 2010 and run the Goofy Challenge. I have already registered and put up $400 for all the fees. Yes I ordered the pins. It’s rather strange for me to have fallen for the WDW marathon. I am a Disney cast member based in Dallas, TX. I work in broadcast radio as an engineer. Normally I just can not stand the thought of buying anything Disney. For some reason it gets my goat to give my employer any money. I guess I’m too used to getting their money.

It's getting cooler !!!!!!!!!!
At last it's getting cooler here in Texas. The past few weekends it has been about 70 degrees at 5 AM. That is so much better than 82 degrees. I can really sense a difference in the way my body handles the heat and the time of my run. Today it was about 69 degrees and very humid. There was almost but not quite fog on the ground. Normally on my Saturday 9 mile run I drink exactly 1 liter or my Gatorade mix during the run and then another liter after the run.

It's great to be a guy
Over the last year I have purchased a lot of “dry fit” and technical type shirts. I was constantly looking for the shirt that would not retain heat. About a month ago I finally found the best way to get rid of the heat. I just run without a shirt. I run cooler and I have less laundry to take care of. Hey it’s great to be a guy.

Smug and Satisfied
I can run a ½ marathon any day of the week with no advance notice. A couple of weekends ago I ran 13.7 miles on Saturday and again on Sunday. Seattle has great running trails. During this time of the year as I get ready for marathon season my weekend long runs are always longer than a ½ marathon. Heck I have to reduce my weekend running to participate in a ½ marathon run. But I get a neat shirt for my troubles. I’ll share a little secret with you. Being able to do this makes me feel a bit smug a… Continue

Running before the sun comes up
It’s summertime here in Dallas and that means HOT and HUMID. That’s not a great combination for good running. During the week I run at the club on the treadmill and the joint is air conditioned so that’s not too bad. However I really like to get out and run outside at least one day a week. So about four weeks ago I started getting up very early on Saturday to do my run. This is real dedication because sleeping late is one of my favorite things. Did you ever notice how the mattress and pillow fee… Continue

Shoulder update Week 4
Friday is four weeks since the rotator cuff surgery. I’m feeling much better. Although I am still required to keep my arm in the sling. I am not to use it. But I’m going stir crazy and had to do something. I took one of my tank tops to a seamstress. I had her split the front and add buttons. I can’t pull a shirt over my head. I got on eBay and bought a 2nd sling. Now I have been able to go to the health club and get on the treadmill. I started off walking. Ran a couple of miles with my arm in th… Continue

- Hey speed is not an issue unless you are one of the 12 Kenyans running the race. I'm hoping for a 4:45 finish. I did White Rock in 4:07 two years ago and I have never run anywhere near that fast since.

- Could you update your event entry for the Dallas White Rock Marathon to be public so others can add it to their events list?

- Hi Kyle. Thanks, I had a great time in the nice sunny warm weather. And yes, guys did run this race too. But it was more of a sea of women than anything else. It was a fun atmosphere.
