Tyler Azalea 10K

 I drove up to Tyler yesterday and ran the Azalea 10K this morning.  I had problems getting my contacts in this morning and ended up running without them.  Not being able to see clearly probably slowed me down somewhat, but I managed not to trip and fall.  About 2 miles of the course is on red brick streets and they are a tripping hazard.  I finished in 1:41:45, about 5 minutes slower than last year.  I was the only runner over 80, so I was first in my age group.

Club run at the park

 We had our annual 3.5-mile club run at Huntsville State Park this afternoon.  I hiked out to the 1-mile point on the course before the race and took photos of all the runners and gave course directions.  After the last runner, I hiked back to the start, picking up course marking materials along the way.  This evening, I went back to the park and ran 3.2 miles on the trails.

Green Ulra 10K

 For the third straight year, I ran the Green Ultra 10K trail run in Millican this morning.  It was a new course and as usual, it was long.  My GPS showed 6.53 (10K is suppose to be 6.2).  I do not have my official time yet, but it was a little over 2 hours.  In any case, I was the only runner over 80, so I won my age group.

 I was out of Huntsville most of the day and did not get to the park until about 5 this evening.  With a race tomorrow morning, I cut my run to 3.1 miles.

Spring break

 It's spring break and the state park is crowded.  At least, there are no more smoldering fires that I can find.  Early this afternoo, I got in 3.7 miles on the trails.

Busy Sunday

 I had a busy Sunday, but I managed to get in a trail run at the crowded state park.  I had planned a longer run, but only had time for 4.7 miles.
