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.

Late run

 I got up early this morning and drove down to The Woodlands for my grandson's football game at 9 a.m.  Then, back to Huntsville for a family gathering for a few hours.  Then, to church this evening.  Finally went to run about 8 pm.  Ran 3.5 miles in the old mall parking lot (5 times around the perimeter).  Today marked 3.5 years on my current running streak.

CPT Rowdy Inman 5K

 I ran the non-competitive CPT Rowdy Inman 5K on the SHSU campus this morning, put on by ROTC.  I finished the very hilly course in 53:30.  In fact, the only flat part of the course was the loop around the track at Bower's Stadium.

100 days

 I am a couple days away from reaching 3.5 years on my current streak.  However, with 3.2 miles on the trails at the state park this afternoon, I reached 100 straight days of running at least 3.1 miles every day (3.4-mile average).
