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.

So when he takes your place you get a better shift I hope? Good job getting out there at all. Makes my high 70s whining seem pretty pathetic.

Good run, I don't think I could make it a mile in that stuff.

Burt,

Those temps are insane but thankfully there was cloud cover today.

You stand to become a millionaire when you identify that "better time to go running!"

From Burt on Sun, Jul 22, 2012 at 13:21:16 from 72.223.80.161

Flat - Yes and yes.

Joe - Whatever Iraq man.

PRE - What would I do with a million dollars?

Hey Burt. We're going to be in Tucson this weekend. Can you watch Elliott for us so we can go running? Just kidding. Are you running on one of those days? Maybe we can meet you somewhere, or on our way in or out of town. Then we can be on your list of bloggers you've met in real life.

From Burt on Mon, Jul 23, 2012 at 16:53:12 from 72.223.80.161

Ooh. I don't work this weekend. I'll be around. Call me maybe.

From PRE on Mon, Jul 23, 2012 at 19:20:04 from 99.50.213.11

A million bucks would go a long way with that complexion and gait thing you got going on.

From Chad Robinson on Mon, Jul 23, 2012 at 19:30:27 from 75.169.9.130

Duh... "You'd be rich"

From Rye on Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 21:44:56 from 174.27.68.181

From Burt on Wed, Jul 25, 2012 at 07:53:45 from 72.223.80.161

PRE - I'm surprised my good looks haven't made me a million dollars.

Chad - Can civil engineers be rich anymore?

Rye - Friend!
