Legacy of Courage 5K - Completion of 5-year streak

 I set my alarm for 5:30 this morning to drive down to Houston to run the Legacy of Courage 5K at 8.  It did not go off and I woke up at 7:40.  Since they were also having a half marathon, I figured I could get there, start and finish before the half marathon was over.  So, I made the hour and ten minute drive down to Houston and got there a little after 9.  The parking lot was at least a half mile from the race.  Picked up my bib and they let me start late.  The course was partly roads, cross country and technical trail.  I finished in 54:14 and was first of one in the 80 and over age group.  Today, I completed 5 years on my current running streak.  During this 5 years, I ran a total of 6,402.4 miles or an average of 3.5 per day  I ran 352 races, an average of 70 per year.  Kept it going through 2 back surgeries and 2 heart procedures.
