Splish Splash
Why should I run in the heat when I have the option of swimming? I had no good reason not to swim so that's what I did. Yesterday was my first official swim of the summer. It was so nice to have a change from the norm. I will say that I got a better workout yesterday than I have had in a while. I am determined that I will not get out of shape this summer even though it is usually to hot to run. Thank you to my friend Kathy for letting me use her pool. I swam laps and tread water for about an hour. Today my arms are tired, but I feel great and am looking forward to many more swims!

Bug-Spray?
Well, I went for a run this morning it was beautiful. I saw a lot of wildlife on my run and even got chased by some of it! Let me just say, horse-flies and I are not friends. Why they were swarming me and my running buddy I don't know. I got bit 3 times by those annoying little critters. I'm going armed with some heavy bug-spray next time I run. On a positive note, I am so thankful that God has blessed me with good health and the ability to run. I have learned so much through my experiences. It is a blessing that I try not to take for granted.

Downtown Dash
3 words...It Was Hot. We registered for the 10K, but it was so hot we ended up doing the 5k. When we started running it was 102 outside....that mixed with not many water stops made for a hard run. We have got to get back on track though in order to run the full marathon here in the next few months. I am looking forward to that.

At It Again
Well, everyone, we are at it again and I am so excited! My knees are feeling great and running buddy's ankles are much better as well. We will be running after dark in our race this Saturday. We are going to go for the 10K and see how it goes. I'm pretty sure we can do it! I hope you are all feeling encouraged this week and to those of you who are runners I say, "happy trails to you!".
