4th July Holiday run

5 miles. Memorial Park Trails. Very cautious on this one. Middle of the afternoon run as off work early for the Independence Day weekend holiday. Took a Gatorade on run to help with dehydration. Everything dry in trails from the relentless record June heat. It was flooded a month ago. So looked for shade the whole way as had no sunscreen. Crazy hot so really slow - especially with sticking the whole way on trails. Discovered part of my favorite trails are now closed. I had to bushwhack through a section which I finally realized was purposely closed. It had 2 great hills as so close to the bayou. I know like alot of the hike only trails they flood. Didn't see any erosion that would require this part of the trail to close after 12 years running on them. Normally the trail evolves when a tree blocks the path.
