Keith Burgess-Jackson, J.D., Ph.D.

This morning, in my hometown of Fort Worth, I did a four-mile footrace along the Trinity River. The weather was perfect: clear, cool, and calm. Though my right hip ached with every step, I placed eighth overall of 227 finishers. I placed second of 10 in my age group (men 50-54). My mile pace was 7:17.59. (Elapsed time = 29:10.4.) My average heart rate was 142 and my maximum 155. I hope you're having a wonderful weekend, as I am.
