Home one day from vacation and we had a July 4th race to run. The Liberty Run in The Colony. I wasn't sure why I signed up for this only that I had run it last year with Amy, Stefaan and Christy.This year the course started at the park by the lake and headed up hill towards a neighborhood. I was determined to run the first mile. It was a challenge with the hill but I made it . Then I got a break with a little downhill, found some shade from some trees to help me cool off. I lost my running cap at the water park in Galveston and the one I was using wasn't vented. The course circled around until we were back on the road into the park. I finished in 40:22, grabbed some water and went and waited for Christy. Then we found a shady spot on the grass and waited to hear the results. I took second place for my age group. Another trophy, this one is the head of an eagle.
Now I have to keep training for the next race which is The Too Hot To Handle at White Rock Lake on July 19th. It is a 5K and Katy, Christy and I will be running.
Miles for week 9.85
