67F, 78%.  7:40 AP.  Dewpoint was much lower this morning, made for a nicer run.  Kind of a teaser though, I need summer to just kick in full gear already so I can attempt to get acclimated.

Ran to a different high school and the gate was open.  Don't know if It will be next week when school's out though.  It's about 3.5 miles from my hotel, and you have to run along a busier street.  I'll check out some more tomorrow and maybe scout out a good neighborhood hill.

"I need summer to just kick in full gear already so I can attempt to get acclimated." This is where I was @ 2-3 weeks ago. Well now I've got my summer, and uh... It's ummm.... warm.

How long will you be living in a Hotel?

Hopefully that track stays unlocked! Way too much thinking involved doing track workouts on the road.

I had to Google Elgin and Moore the other day to make sure they weren't in the same zip code. Glad to see you and your family are safe.

Tom - no, no, it'll be wonderful. I'm not listening to you.

IJR - another 2.5 weeks in the hotel, then a trip to California for 2 weeks for work, then hopefully we'll be close to closing on the new house.

Matt - thanks - yeah, my wife said they didn't even get a drop of rain! whew...

Glad you're feeling up to running after the throat infection. Sounds terribly un-fun. Good luck with the move!

Make sure you stay out of the hotel bar - you'll end up wasted:)
