    Howdy, Ya'll.

    I live in the Spring/Woodlands area but drive all around for work. What are your favorite parks to go to besides the huge ones like Memorial, Herman, and the one off of Cypresswood by Stuebner Airline? What do you think is the ideal time to workout with our weather and your schedule?

    Thanks,

    Layla

    Is the color run the one where they throw colored powders at you at each mileage interval? That sounds SOOOOO cool, if that is what you are talking about. I was wonderfing when they were coming to Houston. I would love to train for that.

    This time of year, early morning is the only time I run outside. Just too dang hot. I go to a couple small parks in Friendswood or around my neighborhood.

    Hi to all the new folks!

    While I'm here (:smile: ) - can anyone recommend hike/bike type trails on the (farther) SE side? The closest one to me is the Southbelt Hike and Bike Trail (goes from ~8 to ~Dixie Farm) but I am not a huge fan. Sims Bayou is also kind of close but it seems to be eternally under construction (plus riding there from the house is a death wish!).

    We sometimes pack up the bikes and head to the Clear Lake area (Kirby/Red Bluff/Bay Area/Space Center) but there HAS to be something closer. We sometimes go to Hobby Airport but again, we're often relegated to sidewalks because of the relative non-safe roads.

    There is Frankie Carter Randolph Park, in Friendswood. 5150 Fm 2351 Rd.

    Besides general biking/walking trails within the park, there's a separate nature trail I sometimes walk. You can bike it, too. It's 1.5 miles, I think.

    Also, along FM 528 near 45, there is a bike lane that runs to FM518. (west of 45). Also, Challenger 7 Park is off FM 528 (Nasa 1), where you can bike safely. The roads in the park share cars and bikes, but I haven't had issues when I've ridden there. 2301 W Nasa Rd 1, Webster, TX 77598.

    Thanks! We'll have to explore those areas a little more. It looks fairly easy to get to Randolph park from the Southbelt trail via Dixie Farm and then smaller neighborhood streets (and then even farther south through neighborhoods to Nasa Rd 1 / Challenger 7 Park - a good 15 mile trip there!)

    Hi fellow Texans! I reside in Spring & work in the City West area (BW8 & Westheimer). I'm getting back into running & hope to do a 5k by Nov-Dec. I'd be open to possibly having a workout partner, I have memberships at 24 & LA Fitness. I enjoy riding my mt. bike.

    I would be open to making friends with similar interests and are interested in being active. Good luck with all your goals & I hope to make some new friends!

    I'm from the greater Houston area originally but living in East Texas now. I am training for my first half marathon in Houston on Feb. 10, 2013. It's the rhythm and blues half. If anybody else is planning on doing it, please let me know! I'm just shooting for completion but I can't wait. http://rhythmandblueshalfmarathon.com/

    Anyone in the Kingwood area that jog? I'm a beginner so it will take me a minute to get into it.
