The Muddy Trails Bash (5k, 10k & kids fun run) started in Rob Fleming Park in The Woodlands Village of Creekside Park and ran through the George Mitchell Nature Preserve adjacent to the park. Normally a run at 5:30 p.m., in early April would be in cool, wet conditions. 
However, nothing has been normal about this year, so it shouldn’t have come to a surprise that we began the run in sunny, 85 degree weather, and instead of muddy trails along the creek side, the air was full of dust from hundreds of feet pounding the powdery trails. 
Although I run/walk regularly, this was the first timed run I’ve entered since 1992, at which time I ran a five-mile leg of a marathon relay. This time I was running 3k with my son and daughter-in-law. As expected the heat was rough on my old body, however I seem not worse from the run. It was fun!
