Running

Jay Hendrickson

I started training for my first marathon in July 1998; ran the Houston Marathon in January 1999; and have been hooked ever since.

Running is my favorite sport and I try to get out there 5-7 days per week. I average between 35-40 miles per week with higher mileages (60-65) during marathon training. To date, I've run 12 marathons (6 in Houston and 6 in Boston) and one ultra-marathon (a 50K race just north of Houston).

I've been involved in running related activities since 1998 and am a member of the Bayou City Road Runners running club (BCRR) and Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA). Sometimes I run under the name, Chip Tyme. I also have a marathon training website at: www.runbayou.com.

My favorite places to run in Houston are: Buffalo Bayou, Memorial Park, Rice University, Herman Park, Brays Bayou, and River Oaks. When I leave town on business or pleasure, you can be sure I check for places to run.

Three favorite running moments

	Most emotional - Finishing my first marathon on January 17, 1999 with a time of 3:24:28; good enough to qualify for Boston by 32 seconds. I was 45 years old. No one forgets their first marathon!
	Goal realized - Breaking 3 hours in the Houston Marathon on January 16th, 2005 with two of my best running friends (Tom Radosevich and Caroline Burum); finding out later that I won the Men's 50-54 age group was icing on the cake!
	Inspirational - Watching a runner in the finishing stretch at the 2001 Houston Marathon. She was obviously cramping and in pain as she struggled toward the finish line. The crowd was cheering, yelling, and screaming. Ten feet from the finish line, she fell. The medical folks ran out to help her but she waved them off, picked herself up, and stumbled across the finish line. I don't know who she was but I'll never forget that moment.

Running Goals

	Remain healthy and continue running
	Run my first ultra-marathon - the SunMart 50K in December 2005 is looking pretty good!
	Race the 2006 Houston Marathon in January
