AM:  80F, 80%.  12 @ 7:47 AP.  Ran from my parents' to Memorial Park to do a loop there, but was feeling like I'd finally overcome the plague so I decided to add another 3-mile loop at the park.  Got a nasty stomach cramp after the 2nd loop, so I took a good 3-4 minute break at a water fountain to stretch it out and rehydrate; that was pretty much successful.  Then I started melting a little on the way back home and was generally happy the run was over with.  Alright, that's about all I have to say about that.

PM:  85F, 70%.  4 @ 8:22 AP.  Great steak dinner tonight, had to wait a couple hours after that, then got out @ ~9pm after watching Rupp win the 10k in the trials.  I finished my first 5k faster than all those so-called professionals finished their 10k.

Are you SURE you didn't leave something out?

I flipped off a guy in a car who almost hit me speeding out of a parking lot, and had to stop and honk at me for getting in his way.

Houston has always been the one city in this state that is immune from Texas friendliness.

Houston has a problem. Oh yeah, I said it.
