another sweet and sweaty 16

my niece dipping her lil' piggies in the creek :)

tuesday - 8 miles today from 9:30am-10:30am felt like 3pm. because the bonehead i was wore a dark shirt! it was awful hot. thank you starbucks for letting sweaty, stinky me come into your oh so busy packed store to fill my water bottle from your nice cold water fountain. i shall return the gratitude soon enough! :)

wednesday - 3 miles with 1 of the miles as hill repeats. my son stood at the top of the hill and timed me. the hill is .1 of a mile and my times were 37, 35, 33, 31, 29 seconds. i make note of this only because this is a PR for me! maybe having someone at the top motivates me that much more! to top it off, it was almost noon, the temp was 85 but humidity lower (SO THANKFUL it was below 70+% for once!). my legs were not as tired at the end like last week, so i'm thinking it may be time for more repeats. why do i do this to myself?!
ran another 3 quick miles tonight with my man. my legs said they were tired of the hills! ;)

friday - 4 easy miles (even though it was HOT!). i wanted to go yesterday, but priorities came first and, well, that's just the way it goes sometimes!

saturday - 16 miles. headed out around 9 and the humidity slapped me across the face for not rising at 6am! it was hot, humid, hilly and HARD! i went through 80 oz. of water. filled up at starbucks again (got permission too!). they were so kind. i felt great when i was done. the only sore part is burn i got under my biceps from rubbing against my shirt when i shoved my sleeves up on my shoulder. ugh!
