AM - in San Antonio for a business conference - random run out and back on what turned  out to be a bit of a sketchy area - hot and humid even before sunrise.  Not enjoyable.  Oh well.

AM - a little over 7.5 miles mostly along the river walk in San Antonio.  Really buggy with swarms of gnats - and as a result a bunch of bats.  Spent a fair amount of time dealing with avoiding swallowing and inhaling the gnats.  Slow but decent run.

AM - 5 miles with Finn and Dan in the neighborhood.  He's just back from vacation in the Greek Isles - sounded amazing.

AM - foot started feeling a little injury-like after yesterday’s easy double.  So I just did 3 easy miles with Finn and Dan.  Heading to Clearwater later today.

AM - staying on Clearwater Beach - here for a business luncheon - retirement for one of my paralegals and then my 35th class reunion this evening.  You know you are old when ...  Anyway - I ran on the beach in the old Vibram shoes.  Enjoyed it.  Easy effort.  Concerned about the left foot at times and at other times not at all.   Many years of running and racing on these sands.  Evidently the Dunedin pass on the north end no longer exists because my gps tells me I ran over it on to Caledesi Island but I never saw it.
