Fass Brewery 5K

 Nice cool weather for running the Fass Brewery 5K in Conroe tonight.  The crowd there has really grown since I started running there.  A good mix of experienced runners and newbys.

Still burning

 They are still burning at the state park.  Today, it was in the back side, so the smoke was not bad.  I stayed on the trails this afternoon and got in 3.7 miles.

Trails open again at the park

 The trails were open today at the park, even though there were a lot of fallen trees still smoldering from the prescribed burn in the last few days.  I ran 3.5 miles, mostly on the trails and the rest on the roads.

Busy day

 I had a busy day, mostly working on my taxes (I know I am starting early).  They are not due until tomorrow.  To save time, I ran in town this evening.  Got in 3.6 miles.

Back to the smoky park

 I ran 3.2 miles on the trails at the park late this afternoon.  The trails I usually run were closed due to the prescribed burn,  so I had to run on trails I have not been on for a while.  A lot more roots to trip on, but I managed to stay upright.

B52 Brewing 5K

 I ran the B52 Brewing 5K in Conroe this morning.  Nice clear and cool weather.  I finished in 54:25 and was first of one in the 80 and over age group.  This was my 1,450th race.  Got to visit with a lot of good friends.

Smoky roads

 The state park reopened today after being closed this week to get rid of some of the alligators.  However, they were in the middle of a prescribed burn today.  They were still burning early this afternoon when I went there to run trails.  All the trails were closed, so I ran 3.3 miles on the smoky roads.

Fass Brewery 5K

 As usual for Thursday, I ran the Fass Brewery 5K in Conroe tonight.  The crowd at Fass keeps growing.

Another run in town

 With the back issue, I am still running slower than my normal slow, but I got in 3.5 miles in town this Wednesday afternoon.

Stayed in town

 With the state park still closed, I ran in town this afternoon.  Did 4 miles.

Park closed until Friday

 Huntsville State Park is closed for "natural resource management" (getting rid of some of the alligators) until Friday.  So, I ran 3.6 miles in town this afternoon.  I was suppose to have an appointment at the chiropractor's office, but I received a letter from my insurance company declining to pay.   In the meantime, my allergies hit today and I was sneezing and draining all day.  Not a fun run this afternoon.

Art Car 5K and Sunday Night 5K

 I got up at 5 this morning and got to the Art Car 5K in Houston at 6:30, two hours before race time. There were over 4,000 runners for the race, so I managed to get a parking place about a block away.  The was my first time running the Art Car 5K, which is connected to the big Art Car parade.  Finished the race in 55:36 was first of one in the 80 and over age group.  I drove back to Huntsville and then drove down to The Woodlands this evening for the Sunday Night 5K.  I finished in 55:37.  While I was slow today, I was consistent.

Spindle Tree 5K Park Run

 I ran the Spindle Tree 5K Park Run in Magnolia this morning.  Finished in 54:28.

Friday at the park

 I stayed on the roads at the state park early this afternoon.  Got in 3.4 miles.

Fass Brewery 5K

 I ran the Fass Brewery 5K in Conroe tonight - for the 70th time.  On the way back to Huntsville, the odometer on my 2016 Ford F-150 truck, which I bought new, passed 200,000 miles.  That's a lot of races.

Wet trail run

 No rain at the house, but when I started running trails at the park this afternoon, it started raining.  Rained for 3.7 miles.  Went home and still no  rain.
