The heat continues

 I think it has been over a 100 degrees every day for over a month and the forecast is for more of the same on into September.  I will never complain about having to run in the cold weather this winter.  I went to the park late this morning before it got too much over 100 and ran 3.2 miles on the trails.

Hot trail run

 I went to the park about 2:30 this afternoon when it was 108 degrees and ran 4.3 miles on the trails.

Heat Wave 5K

 I ran our club's Heat Wave 5K in the Waterwood Sub-division about 25 nukes from Huntsville this morning.  It is appropriately named, especially this year.  I finished in Just over 55 minutes.

Late morning run

 I had a busy day, but managed to squeeze in 3.3 miles on the trails at the park late this morning.

Fass Brewery 5K

 I ran the Fass Brewery 5K in Conroe this evening, for the 6th time.  Finished in 49:26.  The temperature was 107 on my truck thermometer, but the run was tolerable on the shady streets.

Cooler

 According to my truck thermometer, the temperature was only 97 degrees when I got to the park about 3 pm today.  Got in 4.3 miles on the trails and never saw anyone else  The forecast is for 100+ every day for the rest of the month.

Roads to the south

 I ran 3.4 miles at the park this evening, mostly on the roads south of the Nature Center.  Have not run those roads for a year or so.  However, they are just as hilly as the roads I normally run.

All trails today

 I went to the park early this afternoon and ran 4.1 miles, all on the trails.  Another day over 100 degrees.  

Millican Summer Series Party and Awards

 Late this morning, I drove over to Millican with some of my family for the Millican Summer Series Party and Awards Ceremony.  Good food and a good time with friends and family.  Darn, it was hot, though.  Last year, I got there early and went for a run on the trails.  This time, it was just too hot at noon.  Being the only runner over 80, I got first in my age group for the series.  After driver to and spending some time in College Station after Millican, we drove back to Huntsville.  It was almost 6 pm before I got out to the state park to run.  Got in 4 miles on the trails and roads.

Southern Star Brewery 5K

I ran the Southern Star Brewery 5K in Conroe this morning (398 finishers).  This was my 9th straight year for running this race, which began in 2015.  I finished in a slow 54:57.  I'm not sure if it was the heat or I am just getting old and slow.  In any case, I got 2nd of 2nd in the 80 and over age group.  My good friend, Larry, just turned 80 and beat me for 1st place.  This race is always fun because I get to visit with a lot of good friends.

This 100+ heat is getting old

 I'm tired of running in the 100+ heat every day, but there is no end in sight.  Maybe in September we will finally get some rain and cooler temperatures.  I went to the park early this afternoon and ran 3.3 miles on the roads, mostly through the almost empty camping area.

Millican Summer Series Race Number 6

 I ran the 6th and last of the Millican Summer Series 5K+ Trail  Run in Millican  tonight.  Someone said it was 107 degrees.  I believe it.  I finished in 1:02:02, my slowest of the series by about a minute.
