This was my first run in weeks.  I have been busy full time after work and on weekends getting ready for a move to Austin TX by selling things on Craigslist, going through possessions and deciding what gets packed, what goes to Goodwill, and what needs to be thrown out or put in the metal recycling bin.  Then there were the home repairs that came from the inspections, the packing, and preparations.  We loaded everything into a Uhaul Saturday morning and I drove it from Decatur AL to Austin TX that same day.  I'm moving in with Lori, and on Sunday we unloaded everything and returned the truck to Uhaul in Austin.  Tomorrow I'll be flying back to Decatur AL to work the rest of the week there, close on the house I'm selling on Thursday, and drive my Explorer back to Austin at the end of the week.

I did get this 3 mile trail run squeezed in on Sunday afternoon after the truck was turned in.  Lori walked the dogs and I ran on the trail that is being built as an extension of the Brushy Creek trail all the way to Twin Lakes.  It was going to be a 4 mile run but I met Lori and the girls (dogs) halfway back and walked the rest of the way with them.  It is a really nice place to run and I think it will be popular once they finish construction.  I could certainly feel that I haven't been running much in the past month.

Glad you're getting settled in. Keep up the running when you can. It sounds like you'll have a lot of nice trails to keep you going
