Re: DFW runners! New thread

Why did we have to start a new thread? Does it have something to do with it taking so long to pull up the threads with lots of pages?
No, I didn't race this weekend. Did you? Have you recovered from Boston yet? Got any races planned in the near future? At my last race, I won a certificate for one loaf of Panera bread, each month for a year. The one in Cedar Hill is the closest one to me, so I drove out there yesterday to get my April loaf. Got the Tomato Basil. Pretty good. I'll try a different flavor this month. Any suggestions? The mutli-grain and sunflower looked good to me.

Yeah, the big threads slow down the databases, or something.

I ran the naturist 5K up by Decatur. Finished fourth (2nd AG), but I finished ahead of a guy who beat me a couple of times last year. And I beat last year's time by 1 minute.

I feel fine two weeks after Boston, though I'm probably still not back to full speed. We'll see. I may do a half-marathon in KC in June, and maybe something in OKC in a couple of weeks. May do the Dublin 10K again too; that thing has beaten me both times I've tried it, and I want to do it right for once.

Those sound good. I don't buy bread at Panera so I'm not familiar with the selections. BTW and FYI if you come to town for one of the FWRC races there's a Panera a few blocks south on University, just before the river. I sometimes stop in there for lunch.

Give me the details on the Dublin 10K. I've been wanting to do that for a while now. But need to add some mileage of course. Do I have time to do that?
Yeah, I knew there was a Panera on University, just easier to head straight up 67 to Cedar Hill then to have to mess with that Fort Worth traffic.

I just figured, if you happened to be in the neighborhood anyway ...

Re: DFW runners! New thread

Hey ya'll! What a cool prize, Cora! Which race gave that to you? I think I know the Panera ya'll are talking about. I run right by there at lunch time, right along side the river. Gives you something else to look foward to each month

I ran the Mayfest 5K run yesterday...I dragged John (the bf) and his cousin, Cameron, along. John stayed with me even though I told him to go ahead (he did in the last 1/2 mile), and Cameron (who didn't want a time chip) zipped ahead and finished with 28:something. I got 44:46 and John somewhere in between.

The 10K was just a second loop around the 5K, so about half way through the second mile a couple guys went flying by us. lol...wow. One day I will be the flyer-byer.

Planning on doing the Buffalo Boogie Saturday.

Re: DFW runners! New thread

Run4it05, it was the Zoo Run. Good luck with your Buffalo Boogie. I did that one a couple of years ago, but at the time, it was untimed and no awards or anything. They called it a 5K back then, but it seemed longer. I think now they call it 4 miles. It's pretty out there, and welcomes dogs, but I didn't care for it. They've made changes since I ran it though, so you will probably have fun. Also, when I went, I ended up with a lot of stickers on my socks, so watch where you step.

Brian, I checked out your link and last year's results. How is the course? The only 10K I've done this year was the Haltom Stampede, and that was after doing the 5K. So I think I can get myself up to par in time for this one.

Re: DFW runners! New thread

Greenman, I looked at the dublin link that looks like a fun race. wish i could run it but i will be at a track meet somewhere! I ran the rev up your spirit this weekend and finished 3rd. harder course than it looked on paper, lots of turns, plus a huge headwind from about 1 1/2 miles to just after the 2 mile mark. But the after race was awesome, they had a band playing while we waited for the awards and TONS of food!

I was thinken about running the dino this weekend but I have to be somewhere by 10am and I dont think i can make it (or my dad can drive fast enough!) back from downtown.

I think you'd do fine. The course is middlin' hilly, not real bad; there's a block or two of gravel road in the first mile but otherwise it's pretty much normal, asphalt and some brick. The festival going on around it is kinda fun -- I liked touring the bottling plant.

Until last year the age groups were oddball, 36-40 and 41-50 for instance; they changed them last year *while the race was in progress* -- the first posted results had me third in the men 41-50, but then I became fourth in 40-44 because of two fast 40-year-olds. Oh well, I should be a bit faster this year.

The past two years were warm and humid.

The Run On! store on Hulen has social runs every Wednesday at 6:00 pm. You might try that. They have runners with varying paces, and run some pretty good routes.

Re: DFW runners! New thread

Hi-
Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm assuming DFW is Dallas Fort Worth?

I'm going to be in the Dallas area next week (never been before) and I'd like to get some runs in, especially a 10 mile run next Wednesday. I'm going to be staying at the Embassy Suites in Frisco- does anybody know of a good, safe route to run around that hotel?

THanks!!

Re: DFW runners! New thread

I'm unsure of the area around that hotel, but if you head south a little to White Rock Lake There's a 9.1 mile loop around the lake. Its a great place to get in a run, relatively flat, there's ussually just a bit of wind off the lake to deal with at one point or another. Enjoy your stay !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!
