For the 12th time, I ran the Heights 5K in Houston this morning. It started at 7 am, so I had to get up plenty early. The temperature was 70 degrees, the course is down and back on the flat and very smooth asphalt of Heights Blvd. Very comfortable running. I finished in 48:08 was was 1 of 1 in the 80 and over age group.
