68F, 68%.  Back running after about a week off...ugh.  Ok, goal for this week is to run 4 of the next five days.  Then 6 of 7 days next week, still whatever paces I feel like.  Then, if I can do that, back to some base-building workouts and running every day.  The move is complete (except for a lot of unpacking), I'm fat, and out of excuses.

The run today actually felt great, probably thanks to crazy, unseasonably low temps and low humidity.  Tomorrow it's supposed to be the same way.  Good way to kick off my get-back-on-the-wagon campaign.

73F, 42%.  7:21 AP.  Almost desert-like low humidity made for another good run today.  Finished at or near AT for the last few miles.

We live just outside the city limits on the west side of San Antonio.  Some observations about running from the new neighborhood:

- I have to get on Potranco (busy 2-lane road) to get anywhere.  Fortunately there is a nice fat shoulder for most of it and I can use little neighborhoods to skip some sections.  Coughing up a lot of exhaust; I was spoiled running out in the country in OK.

-The closest place to poop is 3.5 miles away.  Every runner needs to know where they can briefly pull down their shorts if need be.

-The closest track is 6.5 miles away, which means that unless I'm doing a LR/BW, I have to drive to the track...boo.

Overall, it should work out fine; I just have to adjust a little.
