    Hey All!

    I live in Oak Forest and I am a newish runner. I signed up for the Turkey Trot 10k, anyone else signed up for this? I am a run/walker too and can't imagine running straight for more than 15 minutes!

    Everyone okay with the tornado warnings and thunderstorms? I'm southeast (toward Clear Lake). We've had out lights go out a few times and some heavy rain, but nothing worse than that here.

    There's a tornado warning?! And here I've been lollygagging (as my mom would say) around the house like everything is everything! lol

    Whatchoo been doing all day?

    Out of curiosity, anyone else here an avid Chron.com (Houston Chronicle website) reader? I love Eric Berger's SciGuy blog. He does a fantastic job during hurricane season and regular weather updates and has some good science and Nasa stuff if you're into that. Also, John McClain has a great NFL blog covering all things Texans.

    Im excited to see so many people from my neck of the woods on MFP!

    lwhitman4... not sure we've met before but its possible I guess. I don't get to the north side much I stay pretty much south of downtown most of the time, maybe I just have one of those faces. :smile:

    Hi all! I'm in the Pearland area. I started training for the Warrior Dash in February, and now it is only 11 days away. In the meantime, I started running. It all happened accidentally, but now I have run my first unoffical half marathon (13.5 miles) last Saturday. I never set out to be a runner, but I am proud to say that I am now. =) All I can say, is you can do it!

    I'll be running the half marathon in Galveston in February and then the Princess half in Florida. I never thought I'd be here, but it's exciting.

    I need to refocus on strength training. I've been really bad about that.

    I lived in Pearland for years (West Oaks by the Dad's Club). I ran with PearlandFit when I did my first marathon. Good to see you on here!

    Houston here (and a native!) - SE side (Hobby) but work near med center. We enjoy biking the bayou trails (Buffalo, Brays) and always looking for new ones, walk a lot, and I am trying to improve my not so great running skills :blushing:
