Smoothing out
Whew. Things are finally getting back to normal. Yesterday, Paki and I took a spur-of-the-moment run at lunch - mid-90s (F) heat training, woo hoo. Even though it was hot, it felt great to be moving again. We went out this morning, but were both so tired and exhausted from not sleeping last night (big news at work), that we called it quits after about 2.2 miles (she got an extra .5 because she ran to meet me; now that I've moved, I drive to our meeting spot). Still need Internet, the w/d hooked up and a few final things put away, but I am feeling much better. (Well, except for the two separate days of gallbladder attacks. Have I mentioned that stress can bring them on? Ouch.)
Time to start thinking about race day strategy - and how/what to pack for our trip to Kentucky!

Angie, your runs in 90 degree heat make me feel like a wimp for struggling at 75 degrees! I tried running with a handheld water bottle yesterday for the first time. Not too bad! I have to get used to it for the Haulin Aspen half. Where I am afraid it will be 90 degrees!

Yeah, Angie, time to get excited (even more)! Sorry about attacks, dang it...you're not allowed to get stressed anymore!

I can't wait to hear about the race. Good that you have been training in the heat, I hear it's been hot in Kentucky and Ohio. Hope you have all your attacks behind you now - relax!

Glad to hear things are getting back to normal. Now you can focus on S&S!
Isn't it all heat training this time of year in your neck of the woods? : )

Normal is over rated. No, seriously, I hope you are attack and stress free for a while. You deserve a break.

Moving can definitely add stress to your life. I hope things calm down for you and I can't wait for race day.

Glad everything is better - now it's time to focus on that race!
I don't know how you run in such hot weather. Yikes. I think I'd melt!

Moving can be so stressful - glad you're finally settling in. I don't know how you run in that heat!

Sorry about the gall bladder attacks.
Plan on bringing some electroyte caps with you for the S&S. Plan for heat and humidity! Bandanas! Sweatbands! Ballcaps! More electroyte caps!
