Location: Corpus Christi Shore line
A long time ago someone told me, "the test of a real vacation" is: If you return home more tired than when you left. If this is true.... then I had a REAL vacation.
Most of what I did in Corpus Christi was non-eventful. It was a revolving series of; eat, beach, pool, wash sand out of crevices, eat, sleep. Can't think of much to say, other than: The weather was really nice all four days. And of course the Houston Strider's ROCKED the relay, duh.
The diet wasn't as good as I would have have liked, but it stayed out of binging territory. Walked a bunch this weekend, which hopefully off-set some of the extra calories. The highlight of my weekend happened just before departing. The Houston Striders have a Sunday morning group long run tradition. I joined the 20+ runners with no exact idea of what I planned to do. I'm excited to report, I ran FIVE miles. Ran the same concrete/asphalt sidewalk as everyone else. Of course my pace was much slower than I like, but at this point (13 days post surgery) I couldn't be happier. The cardio system felt a tiny bit better too. Wasn't having any difficulty breathing and barely broke a sweat.
Another good day indeed.
All weekend I couldn't help but wonder how many miles Vic ran and how many calories he consumed. Is this healthy? When June passed me on the run I was chanting, "no dress, no dress, no dress!"

So glad you and your family were able to be a big part of the weekend. Thanks for being a part of the shuttle team and our on-course photographer - looking forward to seeing those photos on the big screen!

NO DRESS! NO DRESS! NO DRESS!
it was TERRIFIC hanging out with you guys over the weekend.
july bug = mucho tired-o
Sounds like an awesome weekend! WTG on the 5-miler!!!
Awesome that you did 5. You should be very worried, Bill. I had a great weekend. Ate perfectly, ran a semi-hard 6 miler on Saturday and a total of about 12 hours of hard yard work.
At one time, I was down 8.4 lbs since our contest began. It was definitely dehydration because I got 3 or 4 of those back after a couple liters of water.
Hope you got to visit some cute shops while you were down there. Look at any sun dresses?
Vic,
Indeed, I checked out some cute sun dresses, but I was unsure if you needed a XL, or XXL.
Bill,
I know that I owe you big time for letting me use your garmin, so if you need someone in your corner to hold your spit bucket, just let me know...!!
ps - What happens if you guys tie...will you both wear a dress? I am hoping for that...we will all be winners - you two for meeting your weight loss goals and us because we can be thankful it is not us wearing the dresses!!
