San Antonio Road Runners, the oldest running club in San Antonio, celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, held its Fourth of July event at Missions County Park in San Antonio, a 4-miler.  I have pretty much been sticking to 5Ks these days, so this was my first 4-miler in quite a while and it showed.  Very slow time of 58:35 chip time, although Mile 4 was a negative split for me. Guess I was ready to be done, lol.  Lots of folks in some very patriotic outfits.  Very nice after-party with Shiner Bock beer, kiolbassa sausage wraps and lots more. This is a very popular annual 4th of July event that had 366 finishers.

This is Texas in July so humidity was crazy and our temp at 7:30 a.m. start time was 78 degrees.  Thankfully, we had lots of cloud cover, but it did not seem to help, lol.  After the finish, there was a "cooling area" where you could take off your shoes and socks and step right into an ice-bath to really cool down. I did not do that but several others did.
