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.
