Tornados Running Club hosted a benefit run for Cornelio Garibay:
"Cornelio suffered a broken ankle a couple of weeks ago and has no health insurance and will be out of work for about 3 months. Cornelio has lived and raced in Houston for over 20 years. He is still one of the top runners in Houston and runs for the Al Lawrence Running Club.This non-competitive, untimed run consists of two 2-mile loops through the HoChiMinh Trails.We will meet by the baseball fields at the Picnic Loop, south of Memorial Drive, across from Memorial Park. There is no cost for this run, but we will gladly accept donations"
5:30pm start - but shaded in trees. Fast on the jeep track to start. So I rolled over on left ankle. On second lap I saw there is concrete ridge across the path I'd missed seeing first time. Almost needed a second benefit :-) But able to run on it. Then went wrong way. Not continuing on Orange Trail. Instead went sharp right down the gully. They called me back. Paused for 2 drinks of water before second lap. Kept an eye on heart rate and tried to keep consistent effort. Had to walk up gully second time round and tough last mile. 34:00, 3.6 miles. Probably second last as many opted for 1 lap.
They were well prepared for plenty of folks since event widely advertised through Houston Marathon e-mail. So plenty of beer available after the run.
This was first outing for replacement Garmin. For some reason it was on for warm down and drive to next party! Hoping this one works better.
