73F, 92%.  8:19 AP.  Going trough the motions.

Might get things wrapped up here, work-wise, by tonight or tomorrow morning, which means I can leave.  Even better is that I will be starting a new job at a bank (headquartered in San Antonio) in a couple weeks.  No more dealing with DoD or contracts, woohoo!  And no more traveling to the armpits of the country for weeks at a time (I hope).

I'm gonna be in Houston September 5-9. When will you be in San Antonio? Way to keep going through the motions, the fire eventually returns. Having flat-out quit and gave up within the last year, I know for a fact the motivation comes back.

April - I know, I would love to get back to where you are right now with running. I will be in San Antonio from Friday afternoon onward. Enjoy your trip to Houston, and let us know if you're ever in SA.

Congratulations on the new job! That should boost your spirit. :-)

When are we going to get together. :-)

Congrats on the new job Joe! That sounds exciting to not spend your days in armpits any more. Good luck!

IJR - thanks. I am finally back in town, hopefully for a long time now. We need to make some plans, for sure - maybe link up for a run?

Matt - thanks, the non-armpit part is pretty exciting.
