Hot Run! / 3 Miles

I guess I forgot to post yesterday!  I didn't sleep well Sunday night, so I'll just blame the fact that I was tired yesterday.

I ran Texas, but only twice.  I could have done a third but these Santa Ana's are back with a vengeance and it was just too miserable to do a third.

To try and beat the heat/wind/dryness, I ran at 8:30 this morning.  But it was still darn hot!  I really wanted to walk when I was half way done.  It's really weird, but Kensington is so much warmer than Normal Heights.  I have no idea why.  But I can feel it when I get over there and then I always cool down a bit again when I'm back in the hood!

No more outside running for a few days.  Tomorrow is a gym/weights day anyway.  And then I'll spend a few days in the gym just so I don't have heat stroke.

That's weird about it being warmer in Kensington! That's why they payer higher property taxes I'll bet!

No fun to run when it's too hot or too cold. We're becoming wimps!

I slept until 8:20 this morning!! Latest I've slept since I retired. Must have been tired as well as retired. Anyway, no runs for me now until Saturday morning in Marion, IA. We're doing a 5K there Saturday morning. Amy and I are running and Mom is walking. Paul and the boys are manning a water station.

Tomorrow we are both having colonoscopies so today we start the "cleansing ritual." Fun times. Mine is at 8 am tomorrow and Mom's is at 11:30 am. Yes, too much togetherness! Then Friday we'll be driving to Marion.
