They're Heeeere! (Sorta....)

The weather people keep telling us the Santa Ana's are on the way. "Tomorrow." Always tomorrow! Now, today I would say they were here. I'm blowing my nose like crazy. It is so hot. And, to cap it, it is crazy dry. Not a touch of humidity to be found. Sounds a lot like the Santa Ana's. But. No wind. So......maybe this is the advance force. Maybe it really is happening tomorrow! Just looked it up. Humidity is at 11%. I totally slept in today and it was great. This is my first non running event weekend in two weeks and it's calm. I did run today, just over 6 miles. I wanted to do a little bit more, but it was just too hot. And, honestly, the dryness made it really uncomfortable. It was like I couldn't sweat! It was, overall, a good run though. My book is soooo interesting! In fact, I plan on running again tomorrow even though it is my formal day off! I want to keep doing distance runs on the weekend, I've decided. If I run 9 or so miles on Saturdays, training for distance events should be too tough. What do you think? I could do 3 to 6 mile runs during weekdays and then plan on a 9+ on the weekend.

I can't imagine 11% humidity! Yoiu must need to bathe in hand lotion.

You will always be in shape if you keep that running schedule. Good for you.

This being Sunday I haven't done anything but work!

Yeah, it's so dry. I do not like it.

And all you did was work yesterday, too. You'll be ready for a real day off tomorrow.

I ended up not running today. Just needed to take a break. Back in business tomorrow, though.

By the way, it's 20% humidity now so doing better.
