I've been feeling like I'm getting sick, don't think I've been getting enough sleep. Took a long nap today and then went for a short easy 3 mile run. It has been hot the last few days, it's 6:45pm right now and it's still 86F.

8.4 hot and humid miles, pouring sweat. I had only a 6-oz bottle of water which was gone at the turnaround. Fortunately there was a little market there, so I bought some Powerade and dumped a couple salt packets into it (the clerk looked at me like I'm from Mars). That helped a lot. Also stuck my head in a fountain and soaked my hat on the way back. Then a nice dip in the sea afterwards made it all worth while. MTA: My first 30-mile-plus week since January! Yay!

Doubles...some say it is easier on the body, some say harder. I have 9 miles scheduled on tuesdays but I train with my team tuesday nights and they go 5.5, so I do 3.5 in the morning. I dont get exactly the same benefits. Back from my womens weekend. fun fun fun ate like a pig, drank like a fish, barely slept and got out for 90 minutes of beach run both days. Yesterday we didnt want to get our shoes wet since we didnt have a good way to dry them so we stayed between the little streams that cut through the beach frequently here. Which meant 0.5 mile stretch of beach that we did back and forth and back and forth. Today we decided we didnt need to keep our shoes dry so we crossed over until we got to one that would have been knee deep then went south until we hit cliffs. Much nicer, but I have blisters on the bottom of my feet from wet socks and sand. Stayed up way too late both nights. Last night I finally rolled in to bed at ~ 3 am and at 6 am the town siren went off. The siren would be used for a tsunami warning, but it is also used to summon the volunteer firefighters ....but some of the women were panicking thinking it was a tsunami. Either way it made for a very short night. Sooooo tired. I am glad the family is napping. I probably should be but I want to get back on schedule tonight.

A nasty cold has stolen my weekly mileage. Enuf said. I walked back from church today and was shaking like a leaf. I'll try moving against tomorrow.
