Today is Thursday - my favorite day of the week!!! (of the workweek that is...) It's our one day of the week that we usually have no agenda - nothing scheduled in - so it's just fun with my kids. I love it! It's HOT here today, so we're going to head to either the pool or the beach - it's too hot to be outside unless you're in water, so we're going to head in some after Callie wakes up from her morning nap.
The kids were up a bit early this morning, so I was out for my morning run by 7:30 am. I was all excited because I knew it was going to be hot and humid, and thought getting started a bit early would help with the heat. I was wrong - it was still SO hot and muggy. By the end of my 6 miles, I was totally drenched with sweat. Yuck. I even ran with gatorade the whole way so I wouldn't pass out. I've just decided that I am not a hot weather runner - I enjoy running MUCH more when it's 30 degrees outside. Go figure. David, on the other hand, is doing great! Maybe it's all in what you train in when you start - I started in the fall with my training, he's starting his in the summer, so it's all he's known. He's doing great with his training. He's already faster than me (not a huge surprise, but annoying none the less!) and will be running his first 6 miles this weekend. I'm SO proud of him! We are running an 8K next weekend for CHKD, so that will be fun! Speaking of which, I've got to figure out a babysitter for that.....

WOW girl...6 miles in the heat!! Ugh, I just am with you...I can't run in the heat and humidity. I had so much fun when the air was invigorating during the Jan days. :) Great job...have fun at the beach!!!
i'm with you - i'd MUCH prefer cold than hot when running! love hearing about your favorite day of the week. i love those "little" details about life that we get to share through these blogs. enjoy it! i swam this morning, had my dr appt (nothing to report), and am now hot and tired and want a nap - but it's only 10:45 am...
i'm so proud of you and David! make sure you tell him for me! what a fun thing for you guys to be able to run together!!! i can't wait to hear how your first run as a couple goes...you think he'll stick with you or just leave you in the dust??? :)
Yeah - I'm so excited you are doing the CHKD run. We'll be there doing the fun run. It's just a mile with the kids, but I knew I couldn't conquer much more. My dad is doing the 8K as well as a girl in our Bible Study. We personally will do anything, even run, to support CHKD! I think you're right about being able to run in what you train in - it makes sense.
