    I ran 6.5

     

    My eyes burned like there was acid in my sweat the entire time.

     

    Whatever.

      Good morning!  I've got meetings scheduled all day.  The question is, which ones am I am going to blow off?  Speaking of blowing off, I had a swim to do this morning and skipped it in favor of sleep, because I felt like it.  I may or may not swim after work, but I will get my run in.

          Morning!  Went to bed before 9pm and with no food.  Feeling much better today.  IF I feel I have enough energy to run tonight, I'll do 4-5 miles.  We'll see.

           

          Still have not heard from my mom since the cell towers are down and now my dad's phone has the same issue.

            Nice set. I saw the sun briefly when I was heading in. It was pretty.

              5 miles, very slow.

                  I slogged through 4. Holy crap is it hot out there, that's probably the hottest run I've done all summer.

                  Weather stalking for the marathon has begun, so far looking like an overnight low of 43 and high of 61.

                    Tomorrow's supposed to be even warmer. Up to 90

                      Holy crap.

                      Funny, it's been an unusually warm summer here, then just this week it's like a switch was flipped and it's fall. Cool and overcast/drizzly, about 50 degrees for early AM runs. Which of course is perfect.

                              I saw that.  Better not happen there, sigh.

                               

                              At least it's not a goal race, but damn.  Meanwhile, my husband would be, yay, let's go to Yolo and hang around, no biggie, lol.

                                Here's something to try: run a marathon wearing a suit. Guinness has a world record for it!
