Another park road run

 I got in another 4.3 miles on the park roads this afternoon.  So tempted to get back on the trails.

Staying on the roads for now

 While  I am drawn to the trails, I am staying on the roads for now.  My back pain is back and a fall or two on the trails may have aggravated it.  So, this afternoon I ran 4.3 miles on the park roads.

Late Saturday run

 I went to my granddaughters high school wrestling match this morning and then attended a funeral this afternoon.  I did not around to running until about 4:30 pm.  Got in 4.1 miles in town.  Another subject:  They announced today that Jon Sutherland, 74, of Utah, who held position 1 on the international streak list ended his 55+ year streak.  I cannot imagine a streak that long.  I suppose it is a combination of self-discipline and good health.  Congratulations, Jon.  The next 5 on the streak list have at least 50-year streaks.

Stuck in the 30's

 The temperature seems to be stuck in the 30's.  It was 37 degrees when I got to the park to run this afternoon.  Ran 3.5 miles on the roads.  Today, my running streak reach 3 years and 8 months (1,341 days).  That makes me number 3,703 of 4,887 on the international streak list.  Got a ways to go.

 I had to attend a memorial service in Bryan this morning, so I did not get to run until this afternoon, when it was cold (37) and rainy.  Got in 3.3 miles on the roads at the park.

Cold park run

 After running 6 races in 6 days, I went to the park this afternoon and ran 3.6 miles on the roads.  Cold - 38 degrees, but nice and sunny.  About the only vehicle to pass me while I was running was the Park Police Officer.  Luckily, I did not get a speeding ticket.

Texas 10 Bridgeland 5-Miler and Sunday Night 5K

 This was another 2-race day.  I ran the Texas 10 Series Bridgeland 5-Miler in Cypress this morning.  The temperature was in the 70's.  I finished in 1:29:53 and was 3rd of 3 in the 70 and over age group.  Then, I drove back to Huntsville, partly in a heavy rain.  The second race for the day was the Sunday Night 5K in The Woodlands.  I finished that in 53:12 in much cooler temperatures.  It is dropping into the 20's tonight.

Early run

 If you follow my blog at all, you know that I prefer to sleep in and run later in the day.  I had to go to a funeral in Caldwell, Texas this afternoon, so I got up a little early and ran in town.  Got in 3.6 miles.
