The inagural Texas 10 Series race was held in Huntsville this morning. First class 10 and 5-mile race. I ran the hilly 10-mile course in 2:05:24 and received a nice finishers medal. Since I was the only runner in the 70 & over age group, I won first place. With that, I received a second medal and a free entry into next year's race. It was nice to be able to get up and go to a race in Huntsville, without having to be there early to put out signs, register runners or set up a race clock or the finish line chute. The next Texas 10 Series is in Waco on November 3 and I plan to be there.
This evening, I went down to The Woodlands to run the Sunday Night 5K. I really felt tired, but finished in a "normal" 36:49. My wife realized that this race is close to Trader Joes and she gave me a shopping list for there and at one other store in The Woodlands. So, I did not get home until later tonight.
