Well done, in that humid heat.

It is getting cooler for you! How many days in a row is it now?

Cooling down, but that humidity bites.

Actually, it was 79 at 6:45AM when we ran. Darin wanted me to run at lunchtime -- not today, it was 95 again by then. I'm such a wuss.

Kathie, that's 8 days in a row with at least 2 or more miles. I'm not warnout yet, but I might just have to take a rest day soon!

Rhett - yep..supposed to cool down and only get into the low 90s later this week, with overnight lows in the low 70s, can't wait!!!

Nice Marc!!! :)

How is Jo doing?

I still don't know how you run in that heat. You will so be ready for SGM
