51F, 3 @ 7:48 AP.  Included about 1/2 mile on dirt - trail training complete!

Cleared the schedule and leaving work early to head to La Grange, where I booked a hotel.  I'll hit up the running store on the way out.  Probably.

Gonna be a little windy tomorrow:

Ok, got a headlamp, gu and glide.  No new shoes, no handheld bottle.  Got restless at work and left around lunchtime for La Grange...now I just need to find ZZ Top.  Actually, I looked up the Chicken Ranch (which is what that song is about) and they literally moved the building to Dallas (where it subsequently burned down), so I'm guessing there's nothing else to see or do here.
