long 7 (still route seeking!) 1:05:47. Went out my new hilly dirt road (near our second choice for houses last year - they did not accept our offer). Felt pretty good. It was humid for us (42%), I still think it feels "cooler" when I get to sweat than when it evaporates right away. I won't complain about the weather, but I will give you a quote from the radio this morning: "yesterdays high was 109, it will be cooler the next couple of days with highs only around 104" ah ha ha ha .... thank goodness, finally, the heat wave has broken ;-). Super busy today, and very stressed out. I was hurrying in because I did a favor for one of my colleagues and gave his class a problem to work on - I presented it on Monday and the students presented their solutions this morning. Anyway -- so I am hurrying in, thinking about all the things I have to do -- and about how I am going to lay out the experiments for my grant -- and I got my picture taken. The SPEED CAMERA got me! drat! I am usually so careful! You come down from the mountains and it is downhill and 45 and then all of a sudden you are in "civilization" and it drops to 35, I forgot and was in 45 mode (maybe even 50 if I were to be honest). SIGH. Right after I got my picture taken the local NPR station listed where all the cameras were -- seriously about 3 mins after, I am always just a day late and a dollar short! It is ok. I don't get caught nearly as often as I should (thankfully). Have a great weekend bloggers, run safe, stay cool. So far, in the USATF Championship pool I picked the women's 10K perfectly (Begely, Koll, Davila) and chose the winner of the men's 10K (Rupp -- I missed 2 and 3 completely, but who wouldn't have - it was crazy). 100% of the people in the pool picked the mens 10K winner ;-).
