I love summer! Got up this morning and cleaned the house, did laundry, went for a run and still had most of my day left! Helped Jared move into their new house. He closed at 9:00am and we were painting and moving by 10:30. Now if the weather would start acting like it was summer.  ;)

It was hot today. I'm not complaining, just not used to it. I think I will go out earlier tomorrow. Took Bayly and Maggie for a 2 mile walk this morning. I think Bayly's running days might be over for the summer if it stays hot. Fortunately she enjoys walks too. Chasing birds and gophers can be done at a either a brisk walk or a nice easy jog.  :)

Working back up to higher weekly miles. Less than 2 weeks until Jared and Jen's wedding. One flower girl dress done 1 to go. Next week is going to be crazy!

Raining all day. 8:34 pace.

Ran with Ron on the truck route. Where oh where is the sun?!

Wedding is over! It was a beautiful ceremony. A gorgeous day. Jen and Jared looked very happy. Now, hopefully life will settle down a bit. 

It was a hot, muggy run. We are getting way to much rain again. We are going into the 17th year of this wet cycle. Prayers for those north and east of us that are dealing with tornado loss and clean up.  

A slow, easy run with the dogs and Ron. Maggie ran with us so we went slow and easy so her short legs could keep up. It was warm, so we went slow and easy for Bayly. Ron has not run for quite some time so we went slow and easy for him, too. :)

An interesting thing occurs, every now and then, on a certain mile stretch of my usual route. I noticed it a couple years ago and I thought it was odd. There are no houses, just farm fields, the road and ditch. Somebody tosses 2 or 3 trashy romance novels out the car window as they drive along the road. It is always on the same mile and the books are in good shape when they are tossed. It's happened 3 or 4 times. Weird.

Temp in the 80's.  Hasn't rained for 2 days!

Woke up to a thunder storm. Hot, muggy run. At least the sun wasn't out and there was a breeze. Wedding and a big family reunion this weekend.

Cross Country summer running started. Yea! I love Cross Country. Now I get to spend the next 3 1/2 months trying to keep up with high school girls. :)

Went in and ran with the team again. I'll probably go in a couple times a week. Gas is not cheap. Season starts Aug. 9.

Truck route and bike path. Temp was in the upper 70's with a stiff south wind. I don't mind the wind in the summer. Cools me off and keeps the bugs away. Of course I'll be cursing it in a few months. Humidity is starting to rise again. June and May were crazy busy. Plan for July and August: Run, Rest and Garden!  :) :) :)
