With injuries, school, and recovery from the 50K, it has been entirely too long since I have run at the Greenbelt. After a meeting or two this morning, I realized I had a lovely Friday ahead of me with nothing but six miles of gorgeous running. I laced up and hit the trails, starting at the Hill of Life and stopping every once in a while to remind myself why I missed running here so much. This is my favorite part of the trail: it reminds me of the Grand Canyon and is particularly full of lovely, and not-so-lovely, bugs and wildlife. By the end of my run, I'd encountered two snakes, one stinkbug, and a dozen or so butterflies. I'm hoping to head out for a longer morning run later this weekend. It's easy to run the miles with scenery like this.
The past year has been an interesting one for the Texas International Law Journal. Due to a number of positive and negative realities, it has been quite the feat to publish Volume 47. However, despite the difficulties, the year has ended with an excellent volume, the legacy of an amazing symposium, and a journal pointed toward a positive future. Tonight we also had the opportunity to honor outstanding members for their work as staffers, editors, and in the field of international law. Moreover, we had the opportunity to honor our incredible Editorial Board, who have worked tirelessly to ensure the Journal is handed over in the most excellent of shape. The incoming Board is so grateful for their work. We will miss the outgoing Board, but we are excited to expand upon their legacy.
