96 in mid-October

 It was 96 degrees this mid-October when I went out to the park to run late this afternoon.  Thanks goodness the humidity is low.  Got in 3.4 miles, mostly on the roads.

Therapy, gym and run

 I had an hour-long therapy appointment late this morning and then went straight to Iron Works for some lifting.  I took a break and then went to the park and ran 3.3 miles, mostly on the trails.

Crowded park

 I had to wait in line for a while to get into the park this afternoon and there were a lot of people on the trail.  Nice weather, too.  Got in 4 miles, all on the trails.

Friday and Saturday

 I ran 3.4 miles in town yesterday (Friday) before driving up to Melissa (way north of Dallas) for my granddaughter's Taekwondo black belt ceremony last night and her Mother's brown belt ceremony this morning.  Before driving back to Huntsville tonight, I ran 3.4 miles on the concrete trails at a park in Plano.

Fass Brewery 5K

As usual for Thursday, I ran the Fass Brewery 5K in Conroe tonight.  With a 7 p.m. and a change in daylight hours, it is now starts after dark.

Half and half

 I ran 3.2 miles at the park this evening, half on the trails and half on the roads.

Snake number 1

 It is a little late in the season to be reporting my first snake encounter at the state park.  I ran 3.2 miles on the roads and met up with a small copperhead.  They are easy to see on the road; not so much on the trails.

Park roads

 After exercising an hour at my rehab appointment this afternoon, walking over a mile with an engineer wheel to finish up measuring a new race course, I went to the park and ran 3.5 miles on the roads.

Texas 10 Series Cypress 5-Miler and Sunday Night 5K

 Another long day.  I got very early this morning and drove down to Cypress to run the Texas 10 Series Cypress 5-Mile race.  After a mile or so, I felt pretty comfortable.  My miles were all about the same.  I finished in 1:27:20.  Slow, but faster than I expected with the back problem.  I was 3rd of 3 in the 70 and over age group.  I got back to Huntsville in time to attend the Spanish Mass at church.  Then, I took a nap and then drove down to The Woodlands to run the Sunday Night 5K.  I finished in 52:45, my fastest 5K in several months.

Spindle Tree Park Run 5K

 I got up early this morning for the drive down to Magnolia to run the Spindle Tree Park Run 5K.  Nice clear weather.  I finished in 55:56.  Later today, I drove up to Tyler for a family get-together and drove b ack to Huntsville tonight.

Resting up for a busy weekend

 With a busy weekend coming up, including a football game tonight, I went to the park this afternoon and ran 3.3 miles on the trails.

Fass Brewery 5K

I ran the Fass Brewery 5K tonight in Conroe.   With a 7 pm start and the sun setting a few minutes after 7, it is pretty much a night run.

In town

 I mowed and trimmed the yard this afternoon, so it was fairly late before I had a chance to run.  Stayed in town and ran 3.5 miles.

Group night at the park

As usual for Tuesday, I met up with the group at the park tonight.  I ran 3.7 miles, mostly on the trails.
