This was Dave’s first half-marathon, with the goal of running the distance in two hours or less. The race organizers provided pacesetters, so Dave began his half-marathon staying with the 2:00 hour pacesetter.
About halfway through the race, he picked up his pace, running the race in 1:55.20.
Finish Line
Sitting on his tailgate at the end of the race. Mission Accomplished.
Shoes on pavement, a metronome of doubt. Still, the body insists— one more mile into light.
I created the blog posting using the photos Dave provided. I was only there vicariously.

AFTER THOUGHT
The friend who asked Dave to run the half-marathon with him didn’t show up.

“I always kind of look at it like this, if I’m in a room full of guitarists, I’m the singer. And if I’m in a room full of singers, I’m the guitarist. And I’m happy that way no matter what because I can be useful. All I want to do is play music, play the songs.”
White Lamborghini Parked In Front of Kenne David’s 1954 GMC At Texas Tailgate Sports Bar in Houston. What a contrast, especially with the ‘Trash Wagon’ behind the Lamborghini. Loving it!
