Good Morning

I wanted to sleep in this morning and really did not feel like going out there....but I did. I only did 3 miles this morning though because it was so warm running in the sun. Where the road is shaded, it's great. But then you run out of trees and that sun hits you and it just saps my energy. But I did 3 miles with a pace of 10.03 so that's good enough for today. Going to be hot and steamy now starting today and all weekend so we'll see how I do tomorrow and Monday. I'm running that Wannigan Days 5K a week from tomorrow and am still thinking about that half in Red Wing on 7/30. I don't like to run in the heat and humidity though so I don't know.

Have a good day!

I bet you were thrilled that you did not run the half on 7/4! It is pretty interesting, actually, that Red Wing has that half so late in July. Maybe part of it is being able to say, "I ran in extreme insane heat!" Because I don't think they have a secret way to cool 13 miles! What did you decide about that marathon in October?

Have fun tomorrow! 5K in heat is doable. 13 miles? Well, probably still doable but certainly less fun!

I did sleep in today. On purpose, really. I was up so late again last night. I don't know if it was because of the heat or work on my mind. But I turned off my auto brew before I went to bed thinking I would still get up but just in case. Well, I knew that meant I'd be sleeping in! That's OK. It's gotta happen sometime!

I'm not running that marathon in October. Might think about the half there, too, but I want my first and only marathon to be Grandma's with you girls! I am still thinking about the Red Wing Half. Even made a motel reservation there but I haven't registered for the run yet. I need to do a 10 miler to the church first to see how that goes. Planning that for a week from Monday.

The Wannigan Days 5K is next Saturday! Not today.
