No goose egg this week.  I may or may not have taken a two hour nap at work last night, so I had no excuse for not going running.  I felt pretty good.  9:03 pace.  83°.  I saw one runner holding her IPod.  Then another runner holding his compact disc player.  Then another runner with an MP3 player strapped to his arm.  I don't know if it was an MP3 player or not.  But it sure makes for a good storyline. 

The weirdest thing I saw was a lady laying across the hood of her car waiting for Starbucks to open.  She had her feet on the ground, but she was face first into her hood.  I hope she wasn't dead.

Dear mom,

Sorry I haven't called.  I just wanted to let you know that I ran 3 miles today.  It was 104 degrees out.  Not much else is going on.  Talk to you later.

Love,

Burt

Temp - 109° - but with the cloud cover most of the time it felt like 107°

I so need to find a better time to go running.  I wanted to go this morning, but I was just exhausted when I got home from work.  I've been training a new guy to take my place.  I let him drive last night, and that is just physically exhausting.  You know.  All that sitting.

Yay for cool morning runs!  Boo for being out of shape! I found out that I have to cover a coworker's shift this week.  So that means 40 hours of overtime.  Extra money is good, even if I do have to work for it.  So, I kinda didn't want to run, but I felt real good, so I knew I should.  I am sore now, but in the end, it will be worth it.  Now I just need somebody to tell me what the end is.
