55F, S 21-31 mph.  7:39 AP.  I absent-mindedly ran an extra outbound mile today, so I had to pick up the pace and take a shortcut home to get back in time to take my kindergartner to school.  I got in about a mile of unexpected trail running at a fast pace.

Packing up some stuff today - I will move into the house in Oklahoma tomorrow, and the family will stay in TX to finish out the school year.  Guess I will check back in on FRB once I get internet and everything hooked up at the new place.  Hopefully all my Texas friends will still talk to me when I become an Oklahoman, or Oklahomite, whatever it is.

the official term is olkahomish. good luck with the move. even more luck with getting your internet hooked up. that's usually the hardest part about moving.

From DaleG on Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 00:01:33 from 71.199.57.238

Good luck.

Joe, what's up? Where are you? Maybe with moving and such you have not had time to run??

April - I wish I was a Kansan too. So does my bank account.

IJR - a million billion is more like it

Dan - twisters shmisters. resistance training I say
