With the Fass Brewery 5K in Conroe tonight, I have run at least a 5K (3.1 miles) every day for one year. My average has been 3.56 miles a day. My running streak (at least one mile a day per Running Streak Assn International) is nearly 4 years and 3 months long.

One week to surgery
My back surgery is one week from today. I am looking forward to obtaining some relief, but I know that keeping the streak alive will be a challenge, especially my "at least 3.1 mile" streak. I waited until late this evening to run. Stayed in town and ran 3.5 miles.

Dodging storms
This was one of those afternoons with scattered thunder storms. I went to the park late this afternoon and ran 3.4 miles on the roads. There was lightning in the area, but no rain. On the way home, I drove through a very heavy rain storm. Then, no rain at my house.

Millican Summer Series 5K Trail Run, Race No. 5
I ran the Millican Summer Series 5K (3.2 miles) this evening in Millican. It was the 5th of 6 races in the summer series. No mud this time. I finished in 1:04:30 and was first of one in the 80 and over age group. After the race, I drove an hour over to Fass Brewing in Conroe. They were celebrating the 3-year anniversary of the Fass Run Club. I got there in time to join the celebration with a lot of good friends.

Caught in a storm
I went out to the park this evening to meet up with the group. After about a mile on the roads, an unexpected thunderstorm hit. I headed back away from the lightning to my truck in the rain. After a short break, the weather eased up and I finished a 3.2-mile run.
