Two trips to Conroe today

 Went to Conroe twice today.  First trip was for an appointment with the cardiologist who performed the ablation on my heart a couple months ago.  That ablation is still working, but he wants to do the other chamber in the heart.  It is much more complicated and will take and hour and a half to do.  That is being scheduled.  After returning to Huntsville, I went into town and ran 1.2 miles.  Tonight, I went back to Conroe for the Fass Brewery Run.  Ran another 2 miles.

Hot and humid

 According to my truck thermometer, it was 91 degrees when I ran at the state park at 6:30 this evening.  Obviously humid, too.  Got in 3.2 miles, including 1 mile on the trails.

Park nearly empty

 I went to the state park late this evening and ran 3.2 miles on the roads.  I was surprised by how few people were in the park.  Hardly any campers or anyone in the day use area.

A little longer

 I had a busy day and it was nearly 7 pm before I got to the park to run.  Stayed on the roads and ran 3.7 miles.

Sunday at the park

 I made it out to the park late this Sunday evening and ran 3.3 miles on the park roads.  I had obviously rained at the park earlier (not at my house) and it was relatively cool. 

11 Below Brewing 5K

 I ran the 11 Below Brewing 5K in Conroe this morning.  Finished in 56:46 and was first of one in the 80 and over age group.  This was a replacement race for the Southern Star Brewing 5K which had been held for 11 years in Conroe.  Southern Star recently closed.

The photo is one of several posted of an armadillo crossing the course.  He was probably running faster than me.

Hot run at the park

 I ran 3.1 miles at the park early this afternoon.  Very hot and most of the distance was on the trails.  Hardly anyone in the camping area and I saw no  one on the trails.

Millican Summer Series #6

 I ran the Millican Summer Series 5K (+) Trail Run in Millican tonight.  It was the last race of the 6-race series.  Finished in 1:09:12.  First of one in the 80 and over age group.  From there, I drove to Conroe for the Fass Run Club 4th Anniversary Party.

Felt a little better this evening

 I spent most of this afternoon in bed, but did feel a little better this evening.  Went to the park at 7 tonight and ran 3.2 miles on the roads.

Roads and trails

 I ran 3.1 miles at the park late this afternoon, mostly on the roads.

Park roads

 I waited until late this evening and ran 3.1 miles on the park roads.

Sunday Night 5K

Ran the Sunday Night 5K in The Woodlands this evening.   My first race since the last Sunday Night 5K, a month ago.  Did not feel well and finished in 1:00:06.

Late Saturday run

 I felt lousy all day and waited until after 7 tonight to run.  Went to the park, determined to stretch out my distance.  Got in 3.2 miles on the park roads.

Wrapping up July

It's been a bad month for running.  Ran only 61 miles, the first month in 2 years that I have run less than 100 miles.  I had hoped to get back to a normal routine of running and racing.  I felt weak all day and spent most of it in bed.  I went to the park about 1:30 this afternoon and struggled to run 2.1 miles, part of it on the trails.  I had planned to run one of the 5K park runs tomorrow, but I am sleeping in.  

Fass Brewery Run

 I woke up this morning with an infected left eye.  Luckily, I was able to get to see my eye doctor this morning.  He prescribed eye drops, which the drug store did not get ready until tonight.  I ran 2.3 miles at the Fass Run tonight and picked up my eye drops tonight.

Doctor appointment today

 I saw my primary care physician today.  He prescribed a spray for my sinuses and an anti-biotic that is suppose to care of my sinus infection, as well as my infected leg.  Later this evening, I went to the park and ran 2.4 miles.
