Woke up Saturday to rolling thunder, lightning and news that was talking about wind and hail. Perfect weather to run 10 miles, huh? I met my running friends and we decided to not be crazy and hope for a chance later that day or maybe Sunday for me : ( Went to Lexington to get Scott's Father's Day gift and was home around noon. I text my friends and Jeremy was up for a run. Mid 70's and humid but we were hopeful it would not be too hot! WRONG! Time to bring back the water drops! By 3 miles we were dry mouthed and drenched in sweat. We decided to turn around at 4 and get a strong 8 miles in. At 4 I felt good and was happy with my 8:50 average. Well the bottom fell out of that quick. We were searching our friend's homes for water faucets. First 2 had theirs turned off but we found luck at a local school. We struggled our way back to our trucks and called it done at 8 miles. I had hoped I would be able to drink some water and make 2 more BUT I was not feeling it and I had a cake to pick up for the hubs : )
Rest of the week ROCKED! I came back from vacation on a plan.

Feeling good about the next few weeks while I am living the life of a teacher : ) Pool, tan, open gym, nap, tan, pool... hard stuff I tell ya! But it gives me more workout time and more time to eat better. Hope everyone is doing great. Sorry for the lack of commenting but I have been reading your blogs.
I am jealous over the teacher life, My girl works for the school district and she is off now till late August.
ReplyDeleteI too am enjoying the life of a teacher. Next week I am going on a 3 week vacation to Mexico, Ecuador, and Peru. I won't do much running but I will lots of walking.
