Had to leave for the airport at 4 a.m. to fly to Detroit today.  Did an 8 mile run in the heat and humidity this afternoon. Way too hot to run at that time of day.

7 miles in the evening in the Michigan heat and humidity.  It started to pour partway through my run and ruined my new BodyBUGG.  What a waste of $250.

I ran the 2nd annual Red Hot Pink Chicks Half Marathon today. This is just a bunch of friends and runners getting together to have fun up Provo Canyon and back.  I didn't race at all, but my goal was to run the entire race without any walking at all.  I was able to achieve that goal and the legs felt strong as I finished, so my training and endurance are coming along well.

I loved running the first three miles with Marion.  I don't think I have run at all with anyone else this year except for a mile or two with Steve Ashbaker.

Beautiful day, lots of running friends and lots of fun.

Plus - as a bonus, I got to meet and hold Adam (aka Baby Fartlek) (aka Mr. Poopypants).
