Texas 10 Series Katy 5-Miler
I got up very early this morning and drove down to Katy in the rain to run the Texas 10 Series 5-Miler. The rain stopped shortly before arriving at the race. With the temperature in the 70's, it was very humid. The course is all concrete streets and about as flat as possible. I finished in 1:29:46, a couple minutes slower than my last Texas 10 Series 5-Miler in Cypress. In any case, I finished 2nd of 2 in the 70 and over age group. Also won $50 in the cash drawing after the race.

Could not get to the park
I headed for the park this afternoon to run trails. Due to a bad wreck on I-45, traffic on I-45 and the service road was at a standstill. So, I managed to do a U turn and head back into town. Got in 3.6 miles on the roads.
