Hot Times in Austin

So we went to the Grand Canyon a few weeks ago. My running must have fallen in when I wasn't looking. The heat, kids out of school and work commitments all contributed to a general running malaise that I am just now coming out of. Today's 16 miler was the first run since we got home that felt good. Is it coincidence that much of the BSS gang was back for the first time since Boston? Maybe, maybe not. I will be looking at my goals for Portland today and tomorrow to prepare for our Thursday workout. I will not be going for 3 at Portland. I can't settle for anything short of 3:10 so the range of discussion is set. I think 3:08:30 sounds about right.
