Volte Pauses For Veterans Day

After a flurry of mid-fall marathons, the majority of our runners – who are preparing for January’s Chevron Houston Marathon and the Aramco Half Marathon – are currently in a cycle of increased mileage.

Therefore, this weekend’s racing activity by Voltes and friends is significantly less than in the weeks since the Texas10 Katy in late September.

Especially as Run Thru The Woods, the Montomgery County Triple, Texas10 Conroe, the Texas Trail Endurance races and the B-CS and Metro PCS Dallas Marathons approach.

Dave Odom improved his post-surgery 5K time at Saturday’s Run The Woodlands as he covered the distance in 20 minutes, 50 seconds.

Meanwhile, a trio of Voltes celebrated Veterans Day early on Saturday at the Team Red White & Blue Veterans Day 10K, which was held from Northshore Park in The Woodlands.

Jerritt Park led the way with a second-place age group finish of 45:35 in the 10K while Rob and Debra Myers also ran in the longer distance race.

Rob, who served in the United States Marine Corps and is a veteran of the Gulf War, was eighth overall in the Veterans Division in 52:21 while Debra finished in 1:01:56.

Volte Endurance Training would like to thank all who have served our country for their service as well as honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in giving their life for our freedoms.
