The CC teams had their summer "fun" run. The boys and girls ran together with the 2 head coaches as backup support. They were stationed every 2 miles with cold water and rides if some of the runners needed a break. We also had some of the kids bike and then switch off and run. It was 73, and humid when we started and 83 and really humid when we ended. Thank goodness for a good south breeze. The teams did great. I felt great. It was a fun day. :) We'll take next week off. Practice starts Aug. 9

Temp was 75 and the humidity was finally tolerable. We had more storms yesterday. It seems they fire up after midnight and don't let up until afternoon. Hail, tornadoes, downpours, wind. Makes for a long night. I hope it starts to settle down a little. Ron's mom always used to say when hurricane season starts our weather settles down. Hope so, I am tired of mowing the lawn every 3 days. I swear you can see it grow behind the mower. 

Team run today. Slow and easy as some of the girls have not done a lot of running this summer. Came home and mowed the lawn again. (sigh) There were toads and frogs everywhere. I have to mow slow to prevent the little jumpers from falling prey to the clutches of the mower. Scooted several to safer ground. Back to Fargo this evening to cheer one of our CC alumni on in a 5K. She is Tara's BF. She was a sprinter in track. Her senior year she decided to give up volleyball and join the team. She has been hooked on running ever since. Turned her from the dark side. :)

Ran the whole way on gravel. The day was beautiful and sunny. A little warm, but not to bad. My crane buddy showed up again. My legs felt tired the first part of the run. I really need to get started on speed workouts. Ugh.
