Space City 10-Miler

I drove down to the Clear Lake part of Houston early this morning to run the Space City 10-Miler.  This was my first time running this race.  It had rained in the area before the race, so the humidity was very high.  The temperature was in the 80's.  The course was one big loop on the streets and all flat.  I expected a big improvement over my time in Huntsville last Sunday, 2:32:35.  I ran the first half in 1:12:01, but the heat, humidity and sun got to me.  I finished in 2:32:38, 3 seconds slower than last Sunday.  I was 6th of 6 in the 75 and over age group.  In any case, it was my 50th race this year.
