Lots of trail miles today.  I enjoyed part of the time with Leslie.  Unfortunately, heat and hydration issues started bothering me around 8 miles.  I did my best to cool off in the streams, but was bonking bad.  Lots of uphills - I am tired.  Time to clean up and then head to work.

AWESOME mileage! GOOD JOB getting out on the trail. Yep, nice re-hydrating. Hope work is kind to you. Good thing we have the Sabbath to rest, eh?

I guess we're done complaining about all the snow and cold...now its on to the heat! Now we have to get up at the crack of dawn to not run in 80 degree weather-YUCK! Glad Jamba Juice kept you good and hydrated afterward. Nice miles on the trails...those things are brutal, I don't know how you do it!!!

I LOVE THE HEAT!!!! I AM SO GLAD THAT IT IS NOT COLD ANYMORE!!!
