Stayed in town

 I went to run early this afternoon, but rather than the drive to the park, I stayed in town.  Got in 3.3 miles.

Fass Brewery 5K

 I ran the Fass Brewery 5K in Conroe tonight - for the 57th time.

Clear and cool

 This weather is clear and cool and perfect for running.  I got out to the park early this afternoon and ran 3.4 miles on the roads.

Another 3.7

 I ran the same 3.7-mile distance at the park this evening, except this time most of it on the trails.

After the rain

 It rained off and on most of the day.  It stopped late this afternoon and I went to the park and ran 3.7 miles, all on the roads.

Texas 10 Series Katy 5-Miler

 I got up very early this morning and drove down to Katy in the rain to run the Texas 10 Series 5-Miler.  The rain stopped shortly before arriving at the race.  With the temperature in the 70's, it was very humid.  The course is all concrete streets and about as flat as possible.   I finished in 1:29:46, a couple minutes slower than my last Texas 10 Series 5-Miler in Cypress.  In any case, I finished 2nd of 2 in the 70 and over age group.  Also won $50 in the cash drawing after the race.

Back Pew 5K

 I ran the Back Pew 5K in Porter this morning and finished in 52:37.  I was first of one in the 80 and over age group.

All trails

 With two races this  weekend, I ran 3.2 easy miles on the trails at the park early this afternoon.

Fass Brewery 5K

 I ran the Fass Brewery 5K in Conroe tonight.  Nice cool and clear weather.

1,000 miles for 2024

 I ran 4.1 miles on the trails at the state park this afternoon,  That puts me over 1,000 miles for 2024.

Group night at the park

 As usual for Tuesday, I met up with the group at the park this evening.  I ran 3.7 miles, mostly on the trails.

Could not get to the park

 I headed for the park this afternoon to run trails.  Due to a bad wreck on I-45,  traffic on I-45 and the service road was at a standstill.   So, I managed to do a U turn and head back into town.  Got in 3.6 miles on the roads.

Late run

 I got up early this morning and drove down to The Woodlands for my grandson's football game at 9 a.m.  Then, back to Huntsville for a family gathering for a few hours.  Then, to church this evening.  Finally went to run about 8 pm.  Ran 3.5 miles in the old mall parking lot (5 times around the perimeter).  Today marked 3.5 years on my current running streak.

CPT Rowdy Inman 5K

 I ran the non-competitive CPT Rowdy Inman 5K on the SHSU campus this morning, put on by ROTC.  I finished the very hilly course in 53:30.  In fact, the only flat part of the course was the loop around the track at Bower's Stadium.

100 days

 I am a couple days away from reaching 3.5 years on my current streak.  However, with 3.2 miles on the trails at the state park this afternoon, I reached 100 straight days of running at least 3.1 miles every day (3.4-mile average).

Fass Brewery 5K

 After missing the run last Thursday, I went down to Conroe tonight and ran the Fass Brewery 5K.

Started on the trails

 I started my run at the state park this afternoon on the trails, then switched to the roads after 2 miles.  Ended up with 4.2 miles total.

4 on the roads

 Nice cooler and drier weather this evening.  Got in 4 miles on the roads at the park.

Wet run at the park

 There was scattered rain in the area all day.  I had to run an errand in Conroe this morning and then my last physical therapy appointment in Huntsville this afternoon.  I finally got out to the park to run.  I ran 3.7 miles, mostly on the trails and mostly in the rain.

Sunday Night 5K

 On the way down to The Woodlands this evening to run the Sunday Night 5K,  I encountered a heavy rainstorm and two wrecks on I-45.  I still managed to get to the race on time and there was no rain during the race.  I finished in 50:20, a minute or so faster than last month.

Alex's 5K

 

I ran Alex's 5K in south Houston  this morning and finished in 52:00.  I was 3rd of 4 in the 80 and over age group.  I have not run this race in a few years, but it was a good chance to visit with a lot of good running friends.

Park roads

 I was tempted to run trails at the park this morning, but with a couple inches of stitches in my neck, I decided to stay on the roads.  Ran 3.2 miles.
