Our last "cooler" morning for a while.  It was 63o at 5:30 so we had a nice morning run, but  by 1:00, it was 100o outside when the P-town parade was wrapping up.

MR rode the bike while Wyatt Earp and I ran the lilly-pad pond route again.  So pretty with the sun coming up on the water.  Near the pond, MR found a whole pile of unused fireworks.  They came in handy for some nice "4th of July" photos at the pond.  it really was a good run!

After the run, we all met back at P-town to watch the parade.  I was surprised how long the parade lasted, but impressed with the variety of entries.  My favorite is the "Red-Neck Hot Tub."  There was actually water in the back of the truck!

 

 And here's a pix of Wyatt and I decked out in our festive patriotic hats that Wyatt created for us to wear for the P-town parade.  Hope everyone's week-end was wonderful!

Went out a little later.  Either it's cooler and/or less humid than 3 weeks ago, or I've just adjusted to the misery.  The sun was up, there was a nice breeze occasionally, and it was a good run.  Just went around the 'hood.

Thought I'd like to run for an hour.  When I got to the hour point, I was almost at 7 miles, so I just finished up the miles and ended near my house.  I increased my pace and it felt good.  After mile 4, my watch started beeping at me because the lap library was full.  So I only have info for the first 4 miles.  The AP was 9:02.  I felt like I was doing great, so I wish I knew what the end was too. 

MR went back to work today, so officially, our vacation is over.  Now all the house work I've put off doing is waiting patiently for me to return.  YEAH!!! :-(

total distance was 8 miles, but I did have to take a walk break for a few minutes.  It was so hot and I felt overheated, so I walked  a little in the shady part of a side road.

Ran to the city park again today.  It gives me inclines (I'm not sure they qualify as actual hills) to run on, and they're good for me since the 'hood is flat.

the humid heatwave is back and making us all miserable again

slept late and had an early meeting to attend, so miles were low.  Didn't wear garmin, no idea on pace/time.  Intentions to do more "later" have all left the building.

overcast and humid.  glad the sun wasn't beating down on me though.  73-76o with 93-91% humidity.  Like running in a steam room.  just went easy on the pace.  picked up a little at the end, but avg'd a 9:40 total.

pretty uneventful..glad it's done and i'm back in the safety of my a/c home
