No pups, no sister, no wife. I think it’s a good thing as Kate normally helps me pace myself, and my pace was a little up and down over the course, so I need to continue to work on that. That said, my overall pace was good (9:30 on the dot), as I ran the 5mi course with a decent hill in the middle at a 47:32 clip.

I’m leaving for South by Southwest Interactive tomorrow at 6:50AM, but just in case, I’ve decided to bring my running shoes. I think the overall chances of getting a run in are semi-slim but I might be able to sneak in 3 or 4 miles on Sunday or Monday, which would leave me feeling like I hadn’t completely neglected myself, and would help to get in an actual 3/4/3/5 pace next week.

Overall I’m happy with my progress so far, and I’m really enjoying the runs, which is a huge benefit as well. More updates to follow.
