Walked Cooper down to the dog park and back.  Ran about .5 miles on the way back because we were late for golfing (cooper also didn't even get to actuallY GO to the dog park because we ran out of time, he just got to look longingly at it!). Then went golfing 9 holes, but this time I rode the whole time because it is HOT!

10 mile bike ride.  It was sooooo hot outside and we were both feeling so sluggish. So 10 miles in 56:40, not very good. Like a 10.5 mph average.  Heat wave this week, ugh, its 102 degrees outside right now!

Its HOT!  Oh my gosh. I guess Seattle broke the all-time record for temp, with 103 somewhere, but my car at one time said 113!!! I know, likely a huge exaggeration, but still!  Needless to say, without AC, we are SUFFOCATING in our house.  Its horrible. I feel like I haven't slept all week. 

Went out for a really short run when it was 9pm and almost dark, and it was still stifling. Ran 1.25 miles, a total of 1.5 miles with walking. Got some new Saucony ProGrid or ProGuide or something shoes that a running store fitted me with. They feel soooo comfy, I love them so far. Then came back and did 3.5 miles (15 minutes) on the bike. SO HOT!
