Low BP again
I ran 3.4 miles on the trails at the park this afternoon. It was obvious that my BP was down somewhat, but I finished. Lots of fluids the next couple days. 10K in my hometown of Tyler this Saturday. I first ran this race in 1985.

No Spindle Tree
I got up at 5:30 this morning and checked my BP. I had planned to run the Spindle Tree 5K Park Run in Magnolia, but the BP was too low. I drank a lot of fluids during the day and took electrolyte tablets. Later this afternoon, I went to the crowded state park and ran 3.5 miles on the trails. Not 100 percent, but sure felt better than yesterday.

Tough run at the park
I ran 3.2 miles on the trails at the park this afternoon and struggled to finish. I checked my BP when I got home and it was very low, like a few weeks ago when I could not finish the Law Week 8K in Houston. Took on a lot of fluids and electrolytes when I got home. Hopefully, I will be back to normal (back and leg pain) tomorrow.

Stayed in town
I had a busy day and had to work in a run in town. Being Spring Break, I figured there would be a long line to get into the park. So, I stayed in town to run. Got in 3.7 miles.
