Weather delay

 I went out to run this afternoon, but the weather south of Huntsville (i.e. Huntsville State Park) looked bad.  So, I ran in town.  Had to quit after 1 miles due to close lightning.  I went to the park later this evening and ran another 2.7 miles on the park roads.  3.7 total.

Labor Day 5K

 I ran our club's Labor Day 5K in Huntsville this morning.  I had problems with one of the side effects of one of temporary heart medications I am taking.  I got lightheaded 3 times and had to stop running.  The three H's (hills, heat and humidity) did not help either.  I finished in 1:08:07, my slowest road 5K ever.

The storm went the other way

 We were suppose to get a lot of rain today from a tropical depression, but it went east of Huntsville.  Only got 1/8th of an inch at my house.  I went to the park early this afternoon and ran 3.7 miles on the roads, partly in a very light rain.

Ahead of the storm

 I went to the park at 3 this afternoon to get in a run before the tropical storm.  It was a little cooler, so I ran 4.1 miles, mostly on the trails.  In the last mile, there was distant lightning and a light rain.  No rain at my house, but it is suppose to rain all day tomorrow.

Wrapping up August

 Seems like a long month.  Maybe it was the heat and virtually no rain at my house.  I managed to run a total of 102.2 miles for the month, giving me a total of 805.2 so far for 2026.  At the end of August last year, I was at 878.6.  This afternoon, I had a dental appointment in Huntsville and a skin doctor appointment in Conroe.  I ran 3.5 miles at the park this evening, mostly on the trails.

Spring Park Run 5K

I ran the Spring Park Run 5K in Spring this morning, just like last Saturday.  Was interested to see if the heart procedure I had last Monday would make a difference.  I really did not feel any different, even though I ran a whopping 9 seconds fast today.  Finished in 56:58.
