Tour de Bayou - race 4

4.7 mile trail race at Memorial Park. Since the 5 race April series switched from Tue to Thu, this is the only race I can make this year with family commitments. Also, on a running hiatus, so no warm-up and tried to keep things under control. Legs really hurting after 20 minutes so no risk of running too fast. After a bad patch finally found some improved form to push as best I could the last mile. Clearly some training won't go wrong! Planning on starting up Kenyan Way training sessions in May.

Memorial Park Trails

5 miles. Memorial park Trails. Garmin couldn't find satellites for some reason and started well into the run. This run had path blocked at every ravine due to downpour Fri and Sat. Spent alot of the run exploring new paths and trying to reconnect after bypassing each. Even a complete circle one time! Great cool weather. Low hunidity.

Street Flooding

At climbing gym and saw street flooding outside. Have a neighborhood drainage project only half complete. The new streets draining correctly now. Unfortunately the old streets that cause flooding in my home are not done. Had to abandon car and walk to house. Open up all the drains and wait and see if it was going to rain enough to flood. Fortunately the cul-de-sac didn't overflow into my yard. The construction caused my last flood as they had blocked many of the drains. This time the water in the park was held back because entire park road was dug up. Amazing that some places in Houston got in 2 days more rain than hurricane IKE last Oct. Can't wait for neighborhood drainage project to be completed!
