70F, 91%, S 16-25 mph.  7:36 AP.  Did this in Elgin, now about to drive the 7 hours back to San Antonio.  I picked up the pace for a progressive 1.5 miles toward the end.  Huffing and puffing a lot!

AM:  74F, 93%.  Back in SA.  Ran from the hotel through some nearby neighborhoods, about 5 miles.  I think you can call that running.  Close call, anyway.

PM:  90F.  The rental car place won't give you a lift so I dropped off the rental car and ran back to the hotel in the afternoon sun, 3-ish miles.  I got to run through some economically diverse parts of town.

73F, 95%.  Found a pretty good hill leading up to some other hotels and did a few hill sprints.  Then slugged on back.  I think I might try and hit the track on Friday.

75F, 91%.   easy 6.   Felt marginally better, I think.  Hard to tell, I was going pretty slow, but maybe starting to acclimate a little.
