Did not expect the park to be so crowded

 Late this morning, I had to wait in a long line to get into the park and then park in overflow parking.  There were so many people on the trails, I had to keep my mask on much of the time.  I ended up getting 4 miles on the trails.

4,100

 I ran trails at the state park this morning.  This was my 4,100th consecutive day of running.  To commemorate the milestone, I moved the decimal point three places and ran 4.100 miles.

Another 3

 I met up with the group this evening and ran 3 miles on the park roads.

Earlier run

 It was suppose to start storming this morning about 11 and last most of the day.  So, I went out to the park earlier than normal this morning and ran 3 miles on the trails.

Roads

 I met up with the group at the park this evening and ran 3 miles on the roads.  Good to see Camille, who recently moved back from Portland, join us - after a 26-year absence.

Nice Monday weather

 It was sunny with the temperature in the 60's when I went out to the state park to run late this morning.  I got in 4 miles on the trails.

Sunday Night 5K

 Being the first Sunday of the month, I went down to The Woodlands this evening to run the Sunday Night 5K.  I finished in 43:34.

Back to trails

 After a couple days running roads, I went to the park late this morning and ran 4 miles on the trails.

New Year Resolution 10K

 I ran our club's New Year Resolution 10K this afternoon up and down the hills of Veterans Memorial Parkway and finished in 1:34:17.

2020 in review

 My RA and Afib seem to be stable with medication for both.  At least for now, no pacemaker implant is in sight.  My 2-mile run on the state park roads this evening gives me 101 miles for the month of December and 987.2 for the year.  With the run today, I finished 2020 with 4,092 consecutive days on my streak.  With so many races cancelled this year due to COVID, I competed in only 37.  My normal is close to 70.  It looks like early 2021 will be a continuation of 2020, but hopefully running and racing will get back to normal by the spring.  Happy New Year.

Park not as crowded

 The park was not as crowded when I went there to run late this morning.  I got in 4 miles on the trails.

Roads

 Took a break from the trails this evening.  I met up with the group and ran 3 miles on the state park roads.

Back to 4

 After a couple days at 5 miles, I ran 4 on the trails at the park this morning.

Another 5

 I ran another 5 miles on the trails at the park late this morning.  Can't believe the crowds at the park.  I went south from the Nature Center today in hopes of avoiding people.  It didn't work.

Five

 Late this morning, I went to the state park and ran 5 miles on the trails.

Christmas day

 After the visiting family left this afternoon, I went to the park and ran 4 miles on the trails.

Park blocked

 I went out to the state park this morning to run trails.  When I got to the park entrance off of I-45, there was a semi jack-knifed on the park road.  One end of the trailer was on a pile of dirt and half the wheels were up in the air.  A pickup truck was trying to pull the whole rig, but was getting nowhere.  The entire road was blocked and no one could enter or leave the park.  I waited for a while, but it became obvious they were going to have to call for a big wrecker.  So, I turned around and drove to the track to run.  I ran 2 miles, which is about my mental limit on a track.  Merry Christmas.

5K average

 I ran 4 miles on the trails late this morning and am averaging 3.13 per day (just over 5K) for the month of December.

Reverse direction

 I met up with  the group at the park this evening and ran what is becoming my normal 2.4 miles, half roads and half trails.  Just to do something different, I reversed direction.

Monday trails

 Still a lot of people at the park, but not as many as yesterday.  I went out  late this morning and ran 3 miles on the trails.
