Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

Total Distance
11.01

8:35 AP.  I ran in the heat of the day.  The bank sign said 90 degrees.  Hot, humid, and windy.  I took it super easy.  Heat, I have learned, is to be respected, especially since I am not acclimated to it yet.  My objective today was to survive a run in the heat without nausea or cramps. Success!  I drank water at the track fountain, at the sink in the gas station, and from my water bottle that I left by a sign on the dirt roads. Only one sprinkler, but my, it was heavenly!  I got nice and soaked in it and that kept me cool for about 10 minutes.

You're nuts girl! I don't think I could do it!

Wow, that is quite a distance for that heat. When I start having to run in it I'll try to remember that it must be possible, anyway.

I can't believe you get a heat wave!! And I the snow fall!! If it were 90 degrees tomorrow I would probably drop dead in it for lack of acclimation!! supposedly it will be 70 degrees tomorrow. It's hard for me to imagine wanting to run thru sprinklers right now since I pretty much have been "sprinkled" on and then some!! But I do remember it felt great!
