5 miles for 2.5.2021

COVID-19, “The Rona Era”

Today is going to be long, very long. Yesterday I did not run for 10k a.m. humpday because I had a 7 a.m. dentist appointment. Getting a run in this morning is a must. For today’s motivation, I wanted to run 5 miles for the 5th day of February. This morning the sky was so colorful. So many different colors and shades of pinks, blues, purple. I didn’t have a running route planned this morning. I just ran. I started running towards the Rental Car center at the airport. Then I made my way towards EB stadium. As I was running around it, seeing the amazing colors of the sky, the path was blocked. There was construction yellow tape blocking the path.

I had to recalculate myself towards a new direction to run. I ran through Brenman street park and made my way towards the Marina and Hyatt Harbor hotel. To my surprise, I saw a lot of runners this morning. I counted 14 of them. I’m not sure if time played a part. It was around 7:15/ 30 when I saw the runners. Way late for me. Is this the running time? I wasn’t sure if it was group or running club. I saw 8 women in a row running behind each other going in the same direction. I did see one black men as I ran towards the Hyatt. He acknowledge me and I did the same. I had never seen so many people running in my neighborhood before. I wanted to ask the women if they were apart of a running group. In an time of mask, covid, running while black, I thought that would not be the best thing.

I’ll keep my eye out for them. 5.04 miles 54:17, 10:51 min/miles
