65F, 81%.  7:42 AP.  Slight/gentle progression run, had one mile a little faster than MP.  Felt really sluggish today.  Amazing how hot it felt outside too.  I'm going to really suffer in San Antonio at first, until I get acclimated.  Then I'll just kinda suffer.

It has warmed up like crazy here too--Why can't it just be 50-60 degrees year round?

No such thing as "kinda suffer"...you'll continue to "really suffer". 72 degrees and 85% humidity this morning. :-(

Just kidding, it's great down here!

April - once I launch my weather-controlling satellite, we'll have just that

IJR - oh no. no.

Ah, just electrocute your left temporal cortex a little more than usual, and you’ll be just fine. You won’t notice the heat, or the pain, or the streetlights.

That's another one out of the way. I didn't quite understand what you meant about the temps over there in the summer. I looked up where you're moving to and I get what you're saying now. Must cost a fortune in sun cream.

From SlowJoe on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 13:57:01 from 155.219.241.10

Tom - I tried that. Now I can't do math.

Bam - does Ireland even have a summer? I shoulda looked for job there.

From Bam on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 14:10:55 from 89.126.28.24

Wind and rain and I think the sun was seen once, but that was by a drunken old fella, so it was probably a lie:)

Good luck with trying to find a job in Ireland - you're more likely to find a leprechaun first.

From SlowJoe on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 14:23:04 from 155.219.241.10

But when does everyone use their swimming pools??

My daughter put out a leprechaun trap on St Patrick's day...so far, nothing yet.

From Tom K on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 14:41:12 from 71.228.90.171

What did she use as bait?

From SlowJoe on Thu, May 09, 2013 at 14:47:56 from 155.219.241.10

She painted some pennies yellow to look like gold coins. I think the leprechauns must be wise to that trick.

Hey Joe, sorry I haven't checked in on your for a long time. I have been off and on for the past year and a half or so. You did really well in Boston, way to go!!!

Good luck with the new job in San Antonio.
