Running- A Chance at Humility

Our race on Saturday went ok. It never ceases to amaze me how HOT it can be on race day!! It was about 80 degrees at 7am and 2745% humidity!

Consequently,this greatly affected race time,with it only being 28 minutes, 1 minute WORSE then last time. Ouch. Talk about humble pie- especially because I have been running so consistently and I thought I'd do much better.
Oh well, I'm going to blame the insane humidity for this one! Hopefully by the time the real race hits in August, I will be well versed in heat running. I ran 5 1/2 miles this morning in 79 degree weather and 81% humidity. I also did it in 53 minutes- little over a 9 minute mile. I was pleased!

Summer truly is a lovely time. Sleeping in late (ok like 8:00 but compared to 5:30, it's majorally late), eating whatever I want whenever I feel like it, cleaning our house regularly so it's not a dump on the weekends, pool time, seeing friends & family more often, catching up on all the movie and TV shows I never have time for during the school year, no alarm clocks screaming at me ever ;even during naps I might want to take, working out and running in the morning when I'm fresh instead of after school and have no energy! Oh and one more great thing about summer, I can actually COOK real food!!! Ahh, I got so tired of eating grilled cheese and cereal every night.Poor Jason probbaly did too but he never complained! :) I'm trying THIS recipee tonight. We'll see how it goes!!
