So the temp was 86 and the humidity was thick. There was not a leaf moving while I mowed. I was thinking (while I mowed) there is no way I am running in this. I figured I was stuck on the treadmill tonight. 

There was some wicked weather southwest of us and it looked like we were in line for some. All we got was wind, nasty lightening and a little rain. But the temp dropped to 70 and the wind came up. The weather passed and it turned into a great evening. The sunset was awesome and the thunderheads to the east were pretty cool.   Nice run @ 9:12 pace.

Finally ran with the team today! Coach let the girls pick their distance. 2,3,4,5, or 6 miles. One of the girls picked 6 so I went with her. We had a good run in the sunshine. I like the chance to run one on one. Gives me a chance to get to know them better.

Awesome summer day. The humidity was down and the temp was perfect. And they sprayed for mosquitos last night. Doesn't get any better! Nice easy run. Felt good. Heat comes back on Thursday and stays for awhile. Still not complaining. :)

Ran with the team this morning. It was cloudy and really humid (the kind you can see). Thought it would be a nice easy run. Right. It was easy for the girls. The head coach and I had a speed workout. By the time we were done trying to keep up, we were both sucking air and feeling old. The girls finish and are all smiles and high 5's and I am just trying to breathe. 

Went with Kaylie to the big Fargo Street Fair this afternoon. They pretty much close downtown and there are like 300 craft tents lining the streets. Lots to see and eat. :) 

There are 2 things the weather guys never say in the the same sentence. Heat wave and North Dakota. That is about to change. Beginning today through next week they are saying the highs will be upper 90's, lows will be in the 70's. Oh, and the humidity will be 75%. That's the kind of weather down in Mississippi, not in ND! 

Anyway I have made peace with the treadmill again. Sigh. Wasn't even going to run today, but I couldn't sit still during the last Friday Night Lights so I did 4 on the TM @ 8:34 pace.
