Legacy of Courage 5K Trail Run

 I ran the new Legacy of Courage 5K Trail Run in Tomball at 7 am this morning.  Had to get up real early to get there on time.  The race was at a park only a couple miles from the place I got my back injections yesterday.  Checked my records.  This was the first race I ever ran in Tomball.  It was put on by an organization that raises funds to assist disabled veterans.  The course was out and back on a relatively flat trail that alternated between gravel, rocks, sand, roots and mud.  I took it easy and finished in 56:27.  I was the only one 70 and over, so I won first in my age group.  

MILESTONES REACHED:  Today I completed by 4th year of my current running streak (at least 1-mile per day) and 9 months and 10 days of running at least 3.1 miles per day.  Also, this was my 900th 5K race.  I have run a total of 1,456 races since I started on May 1, 1983.

Thanks, Amie. I am in awe of what you and Tom have accomplished and how you continue to participate in the sport of running and influence others to run for health and fitness.
