You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: humidity ex-pat Subject: RE: Got a job in Houston Body:
Gotta agree about the Memorial Park loop, it has to be the most overrated running spot ever. Great if you want to go for a walk or really slow jog and check out fit members of the opposite sex, no doubt. I've done it several times when I lived in the area years ago, I couldn't get in much of a run because even my easy pace was so much faster than that of all the RW fitness types who have to run or walk in a chorus line 3+ abreast with dogs and baby joggers and they are going in both directions so you are constantly having to slow down and wait to pass them. It's like one huge loop of 5k'ers who don't line up according to their ability. I much preferred the Allen Parkway/Buffalo Bayou loop and the Hermann Park loop and even the trails on the south side of Memorial Parkway in Memorial Park. Oh yeah, weather sucks there a lot. March-October it's really warm (or hot!) with stiffling humidity and it can be really rainy in the cooler months (Feb and Nov, in particular.) At least there's usually no snow or ice! Good racing scene, too. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
