Sitting in the Atlanta airport on my way to Mississippi. Slowly making my way back to Tallahassee, I should be there Wednesday night. I volunteered to bump myself to the next flight for 400 delta bucks... not bad! I wish I had my running shoes so I could run around the terminal, but Jason said that would get me arrested. Although I bet someone on here has done that before... Sasha :)

Can't wait to get back to my normal running routine, and really looking forward to a nice run tomorrow morning. 

I have a track meet Thursday where I will be running an embarrassingly slow 400. It should still be fun though.

It felt great to get an actual run in. Although I started at 7:20 and it was already really hot. I am now remembering what it's like to train in the south in the summer.  I drive to Tallahassee tomorrow, and it will be my first time in my apartment in about 6 weeks. Crazy.

High of 100 in Tallahassee on Thursday for my track meet.... ewww.

Talk about getting back into the swing of things! I had a super busy day today with a meeting with my advisor, school work, and then the track meet. It was 97 during my race, with a heat index of about 105. Hence the short warm up and cool down. Anything longer than a 400 would have been miserable. 

It was tons of fun sprinting again, I actually got pretty competitive with the other girls once our race started :) That's the way the 400 is supposed to be though. I am super happy with my time, I just wanted under 70. Next week is the 800, and I feel lots of pressure because that was my race.

I was just proud of myself for getting out of bed to do this run, since I didn't get home from the track meet til 9 last night. I got up at 6:30 and the heat index was already 85... although it felt warmer because it is soooooo humid right now. My shirt was completely soaked through.  It's supposed to be 100 today (about 110 heat index) and that's the COOLEST it is going to be in the next three days!! I'm not running again until Sunday, but at least I am running with a big group of people, and they put water and gatorade out on the course. 

This really is as hot as our summer gets, so if I can run through this heat wave the rest of the summer shouldn't feel that bad. 

 

A little shirt-soaking tennis in the afternoon.
