I am in San Antonio for work and head out to get as many miles in as I could.  Warmed up for two and then 3 fast - 8:02, 7:43, 7:34 and then cooled down for a mile.   Beautiful cool morning and lots of hills.   I am pretty pleased with the times considering the number of hills.

Avg Pace 8:14

Drove up to Austin after the conference and went to the BYU vs. UT game.   Wore burnt orange but did feel a little allegiance to BYU.   BYU looked absolutely terrible and UT started to figure things out during the second half.   Nice to go to a game and be happy with whatever the outcome is.   LOOONGG drive home afterwards and the lack of sleep since Thursday has taken it's toll.

WOW!~ Where do I begin? I'll start with the run! Very nice. I know about the San Antonio hills. Also, good job to run while on a business trip! That is my biggest worry about returning to work one of these days. It seems that I may be able to get re-hired at my old company doing the same job as before. Every once in a while, I get a call from someone saying they want me back. So I'm grateful on one hand, but I'm scared about how I will manage working, children, and running. My job required lots of business trips, too. But when I read about you doing it all, you are an inspiration to me!

Second, you went to a UT game?! I'm so jealous! That's my school! A-town is my town! And burnt orange is my color! Such a fun place. I love the "weird culture" there.

I will note though that while watching the game yesterday, I thought about my Utah friends on the blog. It was a good game. :)
