6 am- 74o with 88% humidity.  avg pace 9:17.  SO much better than last Monday.  It was overcast the first half too, so I didn't have the sun to contend with until the last 1/2 of the run.

I wore the trail shoes because they had my inserts in them from my wild adventures last week (see Saturday's blog) so I just wore them on the road.  I don't think it really mattered for only 5 miles.

After the run, MR and I took mini-me and her friend to Wrightsville beach for the day.  It wasn't too hot (85-94o), and there was a nice wind blowing (14 mph with gusts up to 21) the whole time.  We walked the beach for a total of 4 miles, and spent a bunch of time out in the water. 

The best part of my day was when MR was out looking for crabs on the sandy shelf where the tide was coming in, and all of a sudden he started dancing and jumping around like crazy.  I thought maybe a crab had pinched his toes.  Instead, it was a dead, slimy fish that had brushed up on his leg underwater.  It really was hillarious to see.

Nice to be back home with a shower and dinner sans sand.

Didn't get out till 7 today.  It was warmer and we had a bright sun up in the east.  Out in the west, the big moon was suspended in a sky that was the prettiest shade of blue.  Slight breeze when we started out, but it didn't last long.

Avg pace was 9:25 today.  Expecting cooler temps for the next few days.  I can't wait!  I've got a run planned on Thursday with Wyatt Earp to go visit a pond full of lilly pads.  Can't wait!

Tried the Wii boxing today.  What a workout :-)

not much to report on the run.

arms are sore from all the boxing, tennis, and kung fu on the wii.  How sad that video games make my arms hurt!

early run to the lilly pad ponds with Wyatt Earp.  They were really pretty.  It finally cooled off a little.  very overcast, slight misty rain and nice breeze.   the only trouble was the yellow flies/deer flies.  they had a "thing" for MR.  I was sorry they were bothering him, but glad they weren't bothering me as much.

7394% humidity  pace was slow and easy...very nice! 6:30-8:00 am

Ran to the local city park, ran the 1 mile loop, then ran home.  On the way back, we stopped to enjoy the empty lake bed of our famous town lake.  Last year, after 8 years of waiting for a new dam to be built and 14 million dollars later, the town lake was finally back.  Then, just over a week ago, the dam failed and the lake was gone again.  It is now often referred to as "the lake of the damned."  It makes us laugh, but it's sad that so much money was spent for such a shoddy job.   There were steel pylons, cement walls, and then some vinyl stuff.  Is anyone surprised that the part that failed was the vinyl?  Things that make you go hmmmm.

Here's a pix of the dry docks, and one of MR on the "beach"- he's standing in front of a sign that says "no swimming past this point."

We also stopped for just a minute at the local gas station to get a picutre of the guy who rides his horse to the gas station.  He was there with his grandson today buying ice for his saddle bags. 

Wore my new brooks shoes I got this week.  They seemed to be great- no problems.

The best part of the run was the weather.   It was cool and not humid.  Like Christmas in July.  Just perfect :-) 61-70 o , with humidity somewhere  between 87-64% (but it didn't feel that humid...the low temps & nice breeze helped)

avg pace 9:33
