A Busy Weekend

Perla and I in Downtown Houston for the Race for the Cure 5K

Left: In the spirit of the race, I found some pink New Balance Relay Shorts on our 30% off rack in Perla's size to race in... thought people might take me less-seriously in pink...

Right Pic:

Myself with Omar Leon, former UH great and Beaumont evacuee...

Omar gave one of his kidneys to his ailing mother not long ago...

At the awards ceremony with some TV personalities, as I won in 15:01 over a solid field, to take home two round-trip American Airline tickets as well as a $2500 Tourneau watch....

Left: A pretty tired me in the homestretch of the United Space Alliance 10-Miler in which I placed 4th Overall in 54:04, the day after my 15:01 victory at the Race for the Cure 5K. I had a nice, tired first 5 miles, then crashed for a couple of miles, but then rallied for a sub-16:00 final three miles to finish respectably. The race-day conditions were absolutely horendous with 80-degree temperature and humidity.

Right: Talking Marathons with former Olympic Trialist, Dr. William Moore of Dallas, who capturd the Masters title in 55:53. Dr. Moore served as my rabbit during my stint in Dallas while participating in the USOC-funded "Live High, Train Low" altitude project.

Perla and Madelyn had to drive me home after a busy weekend... till next time, Press On!!!
