I am pretty sure that's the right ratio for converting AM miles to PM miles. Good start to the week -- I was just thinking this morning how long it is going to be before there is a break in the weather -- possibly 10 more weeks for Houston, not much less than that for SA.

Sounds about right, maybe 8 weeks for us until that first beautiful cold front of the year in late September.

Has Mexico attacked Texas yet?

They did. In 1836 if I recall. I was a young pup back in those days.

That's a shame. But good job on the extra 4 miles. I knew you could do it!

What...That's cheating, two AM runs!

It was definitely an off-peak time at the gym. They had all the treadmills on maximum incline so they could clean underneath, but I had no problem lowering one down and making them wait.
