I ran the Running of the Bulls 5K at NRG Stadium in Houston this morning. Hot and humid. I finished in 42:27, which placed me 7 of 11 in the 70 and over age group. This was my 980th race.
Thanks, Susan. It was a pretty big race, so there was some competition in the 70 and over age group. I counted 995 finishers in the timed 5K. Hope to see you at a race soon.

Congrats on finishing yet another race, Ken! I'm impressed that there were so many very-mature runners competing in your age group. Wow!

I might see you at a Texas 10 Series race soon (but NOT Huntsville). Maybe Cypress and/or Katy.
Great. I plan on running all of them.
