Saturday July 6 2019
Two days after running the VA race with Ryan, I ran the Houston Christmas in July 5K. Becca and I had planned a July 4 weekend getaway to Texas anyway – originally we were going to go to Galveston, but then we switched to Houston so we could visit the Space Station, the Museum of Natural Sciences etc. – and Becca found this 5K race in central Houston, walkable from out hotel. It was very humid, and a bit of a slog, but I clocked 20.49 (on my Garmin). I finished 9th overall out of 570, with 21.01 on the chip – course was a little long. We hadn’t hired a car for the weekend but we then visited various tourist attractions, including the bats under bridge, and ate some amazing BBQ.
