Another 2.5

I met up with the group at the park this evening and ran my usual 2.5 miles on the trails.

Maybe it's my age

Maybe it's my age, but I forgot to post again yesterday.  I ran 2.5 miles on the trails yesterday and did the same today.  At least, I did not forget to run.

Forgot to post yesterday

I realized this morning that I forgot to post yesterday.  I ran 2.5 miles on the trails at the park.  Late this morning, I got in 4 miles on the trails.

Bad news day

Last night, I learned that an old friend, Charlie Viers, passed away.  He was about my age and completed over 200 mrathons.  Then, this morning, Lance Phegley, Editor of Texas Runner Triathle magazine, announced that the magazine was going out of business.  I've been a subscriber to this magazine and it's predecessors since the late 80's.  Later this morning, I got an email from Stu's Country Mile 5K that the race on July 4 has been cancelled.  This was going to be my 25th straight year running that race.  My appointment with the cardiologist is next month and he was going to decide on whether to implant a pacemaker.  I suppose my streak can continue for the time being since the govenor announced today that non-emergency surgeries will not be allowed in Texas until further notice.  The good news, though, is that I met up with the group at the park this evening and ran 2.5 miles on the trails.

Wet run

Since it was supppose to rain this afternoon and since I had a doctors appointment in Conroe this afternoon, I went out to the park to run trails.  On the way, I got a low tire warning light.  It had already been raining hard at the park and it continued.  Low spots on the trails were flooded.  So, I ended up running 1.1 miles and went to get my tire fixed.

Just before the rain

I met up with the group at the park this evening and got in 2.5 miles on the trails, not long before we got some much needed rain.

3,900

Minor streak milestone today - 3,900 days.  I went to the park late this morning, just after it rained at the park, and ran 2.5 miles on the trails.  Lots of flying insects.

New shoes

I put on new running shoes out of the box today and ran 2 miles on the trails at the park.

June Bug 5K

I ran our club's June Bug 5K this morning in the hilly Spring Lake Sub-division in Huntsville.  The format was run on your own between 7 and 9 a.m.  I ran it about 8:30 and finished in 47:20.

Another 2.5

Late this morning, I ran 2.5 miles on the trails.  Lots of hikers and bikers on the trails for a Friday.

Regular run with the group

I met up with the group at the park this evening and ran 2.5 miles on the trails.

Run between appointments

I had my annual eye exam late this morning and an appointment with the skin doctor in Conroe this afternoon.  In between, I went to the park and got in 2.5 miles on the trails.

Short trail run

The group wanted a shoter run at the park this evening.  So, I ran 2 miles on the trails.

Cardiologist appointment

I had an appointment with my cardiologist this morning.  Before making a decision on implanting a pacemaker (streak breaker), he wants to review my sleep data.  So, I go back to him in a month.  In the meantime, my streak is safe.  This afternoon, I went to the park and ran 2.5 miles on the trails.

Another no-fall day

I went out to the park late this morning and ran 3 miles on the trails, without a trip or fall.

No falls

I ran the same 2.5 miles on the trails this morning - and no falls.

2 Falls

Seems like it has been a long time since I tripped and fell on the trails.  This morning, I ran my regular 2.5-mile route and fell twice.  Got the knee once and then the elbow.

Another 2.5

As usual on Thursday, I met up with the group at the park and ran 2.5 miles on the trails.

Run between appointments

I had three appointments today, one with a lawyer and two with doctors, but late this morning I made it to the park for 2.5 miles on the trails.

Hot at the park

The heat index was well over 100 at the park this evening, but not too hot for 2.5 miles on the trails.  Jason passed me and afterwards asked me if I saw the snake.  I did not, but I am sure he saw me.

Late morning on the trails

I made it out to the park late this morning and ran 2.5 miles on the trails.  Plenty hot, but it is June.

Sunday Night 5K

I ran the Sunday Night 5K in The Woodlands this evening and finished in 47:31, probably my slowest  ever on this course.

Lingering Inflammation

The inflammation is still around, but I ran another gimpy 2.5 miles on the trails this afternoon.  Got bit by a horsefly for the first time this season.  More to come, I am sure.

Back to 2.5

The inflammation in my big toe joint was not as bad today, so I went to the park this Friday afternoon and ran 2.5 miles on the trails.

Worse

The inflammation was a little worse today.  However, I met up with the group at the park and ran 1.4 miles on the trails.

Three-peat

With continued inflammation, I repeated a 1.4-mile trail run at the park this afternoon.  Not a good way to celebrate Global Running Day.

Repeat

My big toe joint was still inflamed today, so I repeated yesterday's 1.4 mile trail run.

Big toe inflammation returns

I woke up this morning with inflammation in my right big toe joint.  I think that this is the 5th time it has become inflamed in the past several months.  This afternoon, I went to the park and ran a painful 1.4 miles on the trails.
