Water way run

 I drove down to The Woodlands this morning to pick up my packet for tomorrow's The Woodlands Marathon 10K.  After picking up my packet at the Expo and visiting with a few friends, I ran 3.1 miles on the water way, even passing the finish line for tomorrow's race.  My allergies are acting up again and I feel lousy.  And, I am not looking forward to getting up at 4:30 in the morning.

Fass Brewery 5K

 I ran the Fass Brewery 5K social run in Conroe tonight.

Warm and dry for February

 It has been unusually warm and dry for February.  About 80 again today and so dry, we are under a burn ban again.  Good running weather, though.  I ran 4.1 miles at the state park this afternoon, mostly on the trails.

Group run at the park

 As usual for Tuesday, I met up with the group at the park this evening.  Ran 3.5 miles, mostly on the trails.

Monday

Monday, the start of a new week with a busy race weekend coming up.   I ran 3.6 miles at the state park this afternoon, mostly on the trails. 

Cop on the trail

 I went out to the park late this afternoon and ran 4.2 miles, mostly on the trails.  For only the 2nd time in nearly 40 years of running the trails at Huntsville State Park, I saw a Park Police Officer patrolling the trails (on an ATV). Luckily, I did not get a speeding ticket.

The Woodlands Marathon 5K

 I ran The Woodlands Marathon 5K this morning.  This race is held one week before the marathon, half marathon and 10K.  I finished in 50:14 and was 6th of 7 in the 75 and over age group.  All the others were in their 70's.  Total of 560 finishers.

Friday at the state park

 I make it out to the park early this afternoon and ran a usual course, 3.7 miles mostly on the trails.

Fass Brewery 5K

 As usual for Thursday, I ran the Fass Brewery 5K social run in Conroe tonight.

Texas 10 Series Sienna 5-Miler (Virtual)

 The Texas 10 Series Sienna 5-Miler was scheduled for February  1 in Missouri City, but was cancelled due to cold weather and changed to a virtual race.  So, today, I drove down to Spring and ran the race on the Spring Creek Trail.  I had not run that trail for several years.  I finished in 1:24:39.  The temperature was about 45 degrees warmer than Missouri City on February 1.

Run to rest

 I worked out at Iron Works and then did a lot of yardwork.  I was really tired, but I went to the park to run to rest.  Ran 3.3 miles on the trails.

Presidents Day

 Today was Presidents Day, so the state park was a little more crowded than for a normal Monday.  Got in 4 miles, mostly on the trails.

Sunday afternoon at the park

 After church, lunch and a bunch of yardwork, I went to the park late this afternoon and ran 4.1 miles, all on the trails.

Spring 5K Park Run

 I drove down to Spring early this morning and ran the Spring Park Run.  Finished in 51:20.  I left there and drove on down to Houston to pick up my packet for the Texas 10 Series Sienna 5-Miler, which was turned into a virtual run because of the weather.  Need to do that virtual run this week.

All trails

 This was the third and final day of the roofers constantly pounding on my house.  I got a break late this morning with a 3.7-mile run at the park, all on the trails.

Fass Brewery 5K

 After a second day of the noise of roofers working on my roof,  I escaped to Conroe tonight to run the Fass 5K social run.  My allergies were still bothering me and I did not feel 100%.  I finished the run, but slower than my normal slow.
