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.

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.

Park run, again

 I spent much of the day in bed, but I did get out to the park late this evening for a 2.3-mile road run.

Went back to Iron Works

 I went back to Iron Works late this morning to try to get back to an exercise program.  I did some, but soon went home and back to bed.  I made an appointment with my primary care physician this Wednesday and hopefully he can figure out what is going on.  I think it is sinus related.  I went to the park late this evening, when the roads are virtually 100 percent shaded (still 90 degrees) and ran 2.5 miles

Still felt lousy today

I still felt lousy today and spent much of it in bed.  I made it out to the park at 7:30 this evening and ran 2.3 miles on the shady roads. 

Feel like I am coming down with something

 I stayed in bed all day, except to meet some old friends for lunch and to mow the grass.  Feel like I am coming down with a sinus infection, but am antibiotics my my leg injury.  Not sure if the medicine will work on both places.  Just before dark tonight, I went into town and ran 1.8 miles.

Bandage off

 I returned to the state park today at noon and ran 2 hot miles on the roads.  Later this afternoon, I saw my cardiologist to get the bandage off my heart from the pacemaker implant on July 7.  Now, I get to run, drive and shower.

Fass Brewery Run

 I went down to Conroe tonight and ran 2 miles at the Fass Brewery Run.  About half was in a light rain.
