Training starts for Houston Marathon 2010!!!

I must say that I had a great spring running season. I placed in my age group in the following races: 1) Run Wild Half-Marathon: 1st Age Group, 1:34:41 2) Bellaire Trolley Run: 2nd Age Group: 19:37 3) LP Run: 2nd Age Group: 4.93 miles in 33.33 minutes 4) Cinco De Mayo: 3rd Age Group: 21:11 (Ran after 5 days of donating blood) 5) Impact a Hero 5k: 3rd Age Group: 19:40 6) Deer-Park 5k: 1st Age Group: 20:21 My other notable performances during spring were: Bayou City Classic 10k: 41:09 (PR) Flying Owls 5K: 19:16 (PR) I ran tracks from Feb-May and it gave me confidence to run fast as well as accompanying speed. I loved track workout and it is too bad that at Rice they dug up tracks to install new ones. What is the matter with Rice? They always dig up things. Summer is almost over and we are all set to start our training for Houston Marathon. I ran my first marathon this year in Houston in 3:38. Although, realistically I think I was in 3:30 shape :-) For 2010, I want to run a 3:10
