Texas Heat and completing another 10k

Funfest on the Bay. Enjoy the gulf breezes and watch the pelicans. Sounded nice on paper. It was close--Texas City, and by the water. I like to set goals and pay money so that I will not get lazy. So Johnny and I signed up for the 10k.

Well, we did it!!! But it was so hot, starting at 7:30, when the sun was already getting high in the sky. We did walk along the water, on skyline drive near the Texas City Dike. No breezes, few pelicans. No portacans, and not enough water along the way. I was glad I carried my own.

I finished (mostly walking, run on a few slight downhills) in 1 hr 32 min, which is how long it usually takes. Johnny was about a minute behind me. Ice cold cloths, water, orange slices, shade---and the feeling of accomplishment once again! I won a door prize, which consisted of a sweat band, pedometer, and freezable BPA plastic cup. Johnny won a third place in his age medal!! I told him there were probably only 3 in his age group! :)

So we came home and looked through the ads we got for upcoming events. I sorta want to do this 5k at night coming up in Galveston, haven't signed up for it yet. But we DID crazily sign up for the Baytown Heat Wave on July 4!

Sore today, but feels good.
