Run for the Rose

I'm at Reliant Stadium for the beginning of the race. This is a major Houston event for brain cancer fund raising. The medical community gets out in a big way to support it. The focus isn't necessarily the competition but participation. This is my third time to run. Continental is a corporate sponsor and as such my entry is paid along with a small contingent of CAL runners.

This past week has been horrific but I'm forgetting about that and focusing on the race plan. Which is:

first - .4 mile @ 3:04
next 1 mile relaxed 6:20
next 1 mile work hard 6:20
final .7 see what I've got left, kick with .3 to go.

It's a cool morning. The course isn't fast due to a U turn and ups and downs of viaducts. We'll see shortly how I'm feeling.
