Running For The Arts

Two Students and a Teacher

On May 5^th two Landrum eighth graders, Jesus and Jose Figueroa participated in the Spring Branch Education Foundation’s Running for the Arts 5K. The monies from the race fund student field trips to the opera, ballet, theater and museums. I signed the boys up on Friday afternoon, and we met at Landrum at 7 a.m. on a Saturday for our adventure.

I tend to run at least two road races a month, so a differently venue was nice. The race begins and finishes at Memorial City Mall., winding through the neighborhood south of Kingsride Drive. I coached the twins a little bit before the start, and fearing they would start too fast, gave them instructions to stick close and leave me until mile two. Volunteers and neighbors lined the course cheering for runners of all speeds, complete with volunteers from various high school marching bands to serenade us.

The remarkable thing about Running for the Arts is the huge number of students and families who come out to support their district’s fundraiser. Most of the kiddos haven’t been coached in race etiquette and line up right at the front of the pack, leaving the faster runners to dodge them when they stop running 100 meters out. It makes for an interesting start! Jesus took off like a rocket and Jose stayed close behind.

The temperatures rose as we pounded the streets of Memorial, keeping our pace right around 6:30. The race director hasn’t published complete results yet, but I think Jesus finished on about 20:44, I finished in 20:47 and Jose followed a few seconds later. The boys were in the tough age group of 15-19, competing against high school and even college runners. Although I was fourth female, being an “old lady” has its advantages. I managed to pull in hardware by for being first overall masters female, which is the over 40 designation. The award came with a nice medal and generous gift certificate to Memorial City! I almost felt bad for winning a better prize than my students, but I am proud of them for the huge successes they have earned in Cross Country and Track this year.

I think the best part of the race was the breakfast catered by Berryhill’s Tamales. Yummy breakfast tacos, orange juice, and fresh fruit hit the spot on a warm morning. We feasted on the patio while the Memorial Jazz band played. All in all, a successful race!
