End of the month run

 On this last day of the month, I ran 3.4 miles on the state park roads.  That gives me 107.9 miles for the month of May (average 3.48 per day).

Memorial Day

 I got up early this morning and marked the course for our club's annual Memorial Day 5K & 1-Mile, which starts and finishes in my driveway.  We had a good race with cooler than normal temperatures.  Nearly 50 runners.  Later this afternoon, I went to the park and ran 3 miles on the trails.

First trail run in a while

 It was hot (95) when I got to the park this afternoon.  The park was sold out, but luckily I had made a reservation (being a regular customer, hopefully they would have let me in anyway).  I ran 4.4 miles on the trails.  I did not see too many people on the trails.  So, the picnic and camping areas must have been packed.

Run the Woodlands 5K - Race 1,250

 I went south this morning and ran the Run the Woodlands 5K.  I finished in a slow 49:43.  In any case, it was my 1,250th race.

Birthday run

 Today was my 81st birthday.  I had a cardiologist appointment this morning and this afternoon, my insurance company sent a nurse/PA to my house for an in-home health assessment.  I got asked the question if I had fallen within the last 12 months.  Sure, many times, but only had to go to the ER twice.  I don't think the guy was into trail running.  After he left, I went to the park and ran 5.2 miles on the roads.

Late run

 I had church this morning and visiting family this afternoon.  I made it out to the park about 5 pm and ran 3.4 miles on the park roads.

Mindy Moses Memorial 5K

 For the second time, I ran the Mindy Moses Memorial 5K in Bellville this morning.  I finished in 47:53 and was first of one in the 70 and over age group.  Nice race and got a chance to visit with some good friends.  This was my 26th race this year.

Friday on the trails

Completed 1st year of my new streak

 I began my current running streak on May 11, 2021, after taking 13 days off for implant of a pacemaker.  With today's run, I completed the 1st year of my new streak.  This is my 5th separate streak of at least one year.  In the last 365 days, I ran 1,220.6 miles, which averages 3.34 per day.  Today, I ran 3.4 miles on the roads at the state park.

Track

I had a busy day with errands and visiting family, but found time this evening to go to the track and run 3.5 miles.  Sure boring running around an oval, but I did not trip on any roots or have to watch for cars.

Afternoon storm

 A heavy storm was forecast for the time our group meets on Thursday at the state park.  So, I went out early this afternoon and ran 4.2 miles on the trails.  Encountered my first snake (Green snake) on the trail this season.  There is no telling how many snakes I run past and never see.
