Still reading and loving your blog ju...Hey Shelley,<br />Still reading and loving your blog just have not commented for ages sorry! The husband and I are just back from a US trip where we spent a couple of weeks based out of Houston. Oh my goodness the humidity! I managed a couple of walk/runs and it was like running in a sauna/spa pool. Laughed out loud at you visiting Buc-ee's for the restroom I think that place is a Texas tourist destination all on it's own. Loved the restrooms but could not for the life of me get my head around the weird and wonderful merchandise for sale. Our Kiwi friends who we stayed with in Houston were staring at our faces when we entered the store and burst out laughing as we were looking around. <br />Back to the running I think you are amazing to even run fullstop in Texas in summer it is like nothing I have experienced back home in New Zealand.<br />Sam from NZAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386777427829161248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-65021122570494537972016-09-14T13:19:20.101-05:002016-09-14T13:19:20.101-05:00Another fun recap of a great race!!!

It's fun that you got to watch for the rest of the group to finish the 10K. That's one thing I like about races that offer 2 distances at the same time. I usually pick the shorter distance and then I can cheer for my friends!! (obviously that's not the only reason..haha).
