I went down to Houston to run the Law Week 8K this morning. It started at Sam Houston Park in downtown Houston and went out and back on Allen Parkway. I felt weak when I started and it only got worse. I made it to the turnaround point and a little further and finishing seemed hopeless. I even tried walking a bit. A police officer gave me a ride back to the starting area. In over 1,400 races, this was my first DNF (did not finish). I hung around for a while and visited friends and then drove back to Huntsville. Later this afternoon, I went into town and ran 1.2 miles, just to make sure I had at least a 5K for the day. I checked my blood pressure this afternoon and it was unusually low. I suppose that was the cause.
