73F, 94%.  No running the last few days...have a ridiculous throat infection of some kind, but am on my 3rd day of antibiotics now.  The past weekend was busy.  I'm in San Antonio now (started new job yesterday), Danielle and the kids are back in Elgin.  Fortunately all the tornadoes were east of them.

 

Ran from the hotel to a HS track, to find it all fenced in.  I think I found a gap where I can squeeze in if need be, but tomorrow I'll jog to a couple more tracks and see if they are open.  Plan is to run easy for a few days, probably until this weekend when I'll (hopefully) feel better and can pick up where I left off.

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.

69F, 83%.  Short run on my own, then around the block with my 6-year-old.  I'm back in Oklahoma for the long weekend.  Nice to leave the house at 9am and it's still under 70 degrees.  That is the one and only thing I will miss about OK, the cooler weather.  Well, probably running on the isolated country roads too; San Antonio is a bit crowded.

My consistency with running sucks lately.  Partly due to illness, but things are hectic right now and I don't seem to have the make-it-happen mindset that I used to.  Hopefully after we close and move in the new house, some of it will come back if I can get into a routine.
