62F, NNE 11 mph.  7:28 AP.  My tour of small Oklahoma towns no one has ever heard of continues.  I've hit Apache and Fletcher; today I ran to Cyril.  Apache was big time, they had a blinking red light.  We only have a stop sign in Elgin.  Anyway, it was a solid run.  I kept the pace moderate but no need to hit MP since I did that on Tuesday.  Actually the last mile and change were at MP or a little faster.  I had plenty of reserve in the tank today.

Now to sit back and wait for my daughter's stomach virus to hit me.  It's just a matter of 'when.'

AM - 73F, S 10 mph.  Unseasonably warm, yuck.  Forgot to look at AP, guessing about 7:50 for the 10 miles.  I forgot to mention that I was accepted into Boston over the weekend.  My aunt has already agreed to host us in Providence, so it looks like it's definitely going to happen.

68F, 80%, S 15 mph.  7:28 AP.  Ran the last 2 miles hard - 6:27, 6:21.  Kinda hard to get going on mornings when you have to wake up at 4am, but at least I did something other than easy miles this week.

Tomorrow afternoon we leave to go to my brother's wedding; all 4 of us are in the wedding, including the 2 kids (flowergirls).  He's getting married in Hawaii.  We tried to find a way to leave the kids here with family, but everyone wants them to come to the wedding.  So this won't quite be the relaxing trip it could be, but at least we'll get out of Oklahoma for 5 or 6 days.

Off to Hawaii this afternoon.  Thunderstorms in OKC.  40-minute layover in LA.  2 kids in tow.  What could go wrong?
