Highway Happy Houston

Figured out why the country is "addicted" to oil - there are no sidewalks in Texas! Half a mile in every direction, you run into a highway where I tried to run this morning from my hotel. At one point, I saw a runner that I followed for a little while, but then I wondered if he was really the kind of guy I wanted to follow and he didn't look like he knew where he was going, so I turned around. When I got back to the hotel we actually rode up the elevator together since he had just grabbed some breakfast and he wasn't as scary as I had hyped him up to be. Despite being locked in office-park-central, I came across a few animals - a rooster crowing his wake-up call and a white cat that looked half cheetah and wanted to attack me. All in all, not my favorite run ever, but a good temperature!
