Fargo river run. Hot, muggy and fast. Keeping up with teenagers. Ugg. There easy runs turn into a speed workout for me.

Ran 2 miles with the girls. We had a coaches/captains meeting in preparation for the coming year. Exciting! Came home and ran another 5. Nice breeze, made the run good. The heat has not bothered me as much this year. I have kept a close eye on the humidity and temp and take it slow when both are creeping up.  

Think I'll run Casselton Summerfest 5K this Sat. I haven't run a road race all summer. 

Ran with a sandhill crane today. It was down in the ditch and every time I caught up with it, it would take flight and land ahead of me. This went on for 1/2 the run.

Weather was warm and it has been really muggy lately, so it feels worse than it is. I felt pretty good. My back has been stiff and sore when I get up in the morning and at night after I have been out gardening. But it feels great when I run. :) I would say I am getting old, but since age is a state of mind I'll just stick with too much gardening.  :)

Did not want to deal with heat and humidity and threat of rain. So I did treadhills and biked 3 miles in the basement. Boring, but cool and bug free.  :)

I PR'd!!!! I was the 5th woman over all. There were about 80 runners. I didn't feel real great. And about 1/2 way through I was asking myself why I keep doing this to myself. When I started I thought I would just run my pace and enjoy the day. Nope, that competitive feeling kicks in and it's all over. It paid off since I took over a minute off my time. :)
