Run Your Resolution 5K (New Years Day)

 I went back to Millican this morning and ran the New Years Day edition of the Run Your Resolution 5K    trail run. I felt better today and ran almost 4 minutes faster than yesterday.  Finished in 1:06:21 and was first of one in the 80 and over age group.

Run Your Resolution 5K

 I went to Millican this morning and ran the Run Your Resolution 5K Trail Run (New Years Eve edition).  Very technical course, especially with the wild pigs digging up so much ground.  It is like running in a plowed field.  Then, there are the roots and steep embankments.  I felt weak from the sinus infection and was slower than my normal slow on these trails.  I finished in 1:10:02 and was first of one in the 80 and over age group.  Tomorrow, the New Years Day edition.

I finished 2025 with 75 races, with a total race count of 1,506.   During the year, I ran 1,320.9 miles (average 3.62 per day).

Getting better

 I still had a temperature this morning, but felt better.  I went to the park early this afternoon and ran 3.1 miles, mostly on the trails.  Tripped on a root and took a hard fall.  Two-point landing - right knee and right hip.  I iced the hip when I got home, but it is still sore.  It had not recovered from the last fall a few days ago.

Got through another day

 My temperature got up to 101 last night and stayed over a 100 until late morning. I was able to get a video appointment with my doctor at 12:30 pm.  He wanted me to come to the office for a swab test fir flu and COVID.  I did that and both came back negative.  He called in a prescription for an antibiotic and a decongestant.  I finally got those from the drug store after 4 pm.  I took a dose of both and then ran 3.3 miles in town.  Got through another tough day and the streak continues.

Streak threat

 I woke up this morning with a fever, from days of sinus drainage down the throat.  I stayed in bed until 2 pm.  Got up, went to the park and ran 3.1 miles, almost all on the trails.  My temperature is higher tonight; hopefully, I can get to see a doctor tomorrow morning.

Spring 5K Park Run

 I got up early and drove 55 miles down to Spring to run the relatively new Cypress Creek Park at Timberlane Parkrun.  Since the name is a little long, I will always refer to it as the Spring Park Run.  The course was out and back on a wide concrete trail.  After all the holiday eating, I finished in 53:11.

Crowded park the day after Christmas

 There was a long line waiting to get into the state park when I arrived early this afternoon.  I ran 3.3 miles, mostly on the trails.

Merry Christmas

 Merry Christmas.  I went to the park about noon today and ran 4.1 miles, mostly on the trails.  I was surprised about the large number of visitors at the park,  Unusual for Christmas day.  Maybe it was the nearly 80 degree temperature.

Relatively early run at the park

 Being the day before Christmas, I had a lot to do today.  So I went to the park relatively early this morning (about 9:30) and ran 3.3 miles, mostly on the trails.

Park run

 I went back to the state park this afternoon and ran 4.1 miles.  Half was on the roads and the other half was on the least rootiest trails I could find.

Darn roots

 I ran 3.4 miles at the park this afternoon, mostly on the trails.  I tripped on a root and fell on some others.  Three-point landing, right knee, elbow and hip.  Sore tonight, but nothing seems broken.  That was my first fall in a few weeks.

Sunday afternoon at the park

 Nice sunny Sunday afternoon in the 70's.  I ran 5 miles at the park, 4 on the trails and 1 on the roads.

Spindle Tree 5K Park Run

 It has been about a month since I ran the Spindle Tree Park Run in Magnolia.  Went down this morning and finished the 5K in 51:41.  Always good to visit with a lot of good friends at this race.

Finally on the new computer

 I finally got my new computer up and running.  Hopefully, no more interruptions.  I went to the park late this morning and ran 3.5 miles, mostly on the trails.

Fass 5K

 Back to the old computer tonight.  Slow, but a comfort zone.  Ran the Fass Brewery 5K in Conroe tonight.  Clear and cool weather.

Yesterday's blog entry

 I am trying to transition to my new computer, but it is complicated for an old guy.  Missed yesterday's blog entry.  I ran 3.6 miles at the park, mostly on the trails.
