Hot. Again. Over 90 degrees. Again. (Same exact conditions as yesterday.) Humidity is kinda low so says The Weather Channel... and it feels like it... so it could be MUCH worse... but it's still already really freakin' bad. Well, not really freakin' bad but pretty bad. Summer sucks... unless you're at the Jersey Shore... or in the mountains of Montana or Idaho or maybe Utah. Alaska wouldn't be bad except for the mosquitos. Not good.

ANYWAY... somehow I have been able to string together three consecutive days with pitiful runs. I've really really really dug the challenge of running in this heat, seriously. While I don't want to be outside in these temps for almost anything at all, challenging myself is something I like a lot. The practically-bordering-on extreme heat is rough -- it's not easy to accomplish 10 to 12 minutes and when I'm done I feel like my life should just end 'cause I'd feel a WHOLE lot better. After my run came to an end, I had a minute or two walk back to my icy Gatorade which felt like it coulda been 30 minutes. That first swig of cold liquid was Heaven, I tell you what! On the walk back I baked in the sun, nearly cold shower and now I'm just freakin' spent. Day off tomorrow, I swear. I need it.
