Did a 40-minute run on the TM at the hotel in Dallas. Turned out to be 4.32 miles. TM had a built-in TV, which was nice, but horrible picture, which wasn't.

Another TM run at the hotel. I think there's a junior college campus a mile or so away. I'll try to run over there and maybe run through campus tomorrow.

As planned, ran over to the campus. Some company was doing an outdoor crawfish boil for its employees in between, and I could smell that wonderful smell for most of the run. Unfortunately, they didn't invite me to partake. Boiled crawfish is definitely an acquired taste, and boy, have I acquired it. Course was mostly flat with some undulations; better than the treadmill with the snowy TV screen.

Ran an extra loop around the college campus tonight, or as best I could; there is a jogging trail but some of it is blocked for construction. Tried to go around the construction and found a creek there. There is another PA here at the conference that is not only a marathoner, but an ultramarathoner. Maybe I should have run with him, or maybe I'm not ready for that yet.
