I'll Escape With This For One More Week

#1 TEX (8-0) 28
#6 OKLA ST (7-1) 24

You can't always blow out a top-10 team, so I'm happy to escape with this win. I missed the game while camping all weekend with my 1st grader in our YMCA Adventure Princess program. With no TV and spotty radio reception, there were quite a few dads thumbing the blackberrys for espn updates.

Sorry folks, I'm so behind on reading. Between camping in Oklahoma and a business trip to Vegas last week, my last run was on Wednesday. Time to get moving again.

In the meantime, next up for the Longhorns, #6 Texas Tech next Saturday in Lubbock.

I'll Savor This For One More Week

#1 TEX (7-0) 56
#11 MIZZ (5-2) 31

I went for a 2 hr 10 min celebration run this morning and it was great! Coach is changing up my training plan and we're going to put the LHR training to the test at the DRC Half on November 2nd. It's all engines go to see how fast I can bring it home come race day.

In the meantime, next up for the Longhorns, #7 Oklahoma State next Saturday in Austin.

Running The Table

Between a little bit of travel, the presidential debates, college football, 1st grade soccer, 7th grade volleyball, and work, I took the week off from running last week. It's the first week since 1/1/08 that I did not run at all. Illogically, I felt like 9 months of consistent base building was draining by the minute ...

But back to business. My beloved Longhorns and QB Colt McCoy are holding up so far, now 5-0 and ranked #5. Sweaty palms and churning stomachs are about to explode this weekend. It's the annual TX-ou weekend in Dallas, with ou ranked #1. National Championship is there for the taking, if we can deliver the goods, yet the road ahead is no cream puff schedule. Our next four consecutive games:

Oct 11 #1 Oklahoma (5-0)
Oct 18 #3 Missouri (5-0)
Oct 25 #17 Oklahoma State (5-0)
Nov 1 #7 Texas Tech (5-0)

Combined record of our next four opponents ... (20-0) ... gulp. If we lose, I'm going for a very very long run.
