Hot run in the sun & humidity.  Took a .15 mile walk break at mile 4.5, so I really only ran 5 miles, but I was sweating the whole time if that makes any difference.

Planned on doing a shred but never got around to it. 

Happy summer solstice y'all.

80-85 degrees with 57-44 % humidity.  I think it felt like 80% humidity.

got out a little earlier & cooler.  Not too bad until the sun was up in my face. 75 degrees, 85% humidity.  No walk breaks today.  Did shred level 1 when I got home.

The weather station in my neighborhood says it's 104 outside right now. (12:20) I think it's a little high.  All the other local stations are saying it's more like 94.  Either way, it's hot.

My nephew is on his way!!  Luckily, there was some shred of reason left in my dear sister's head this morning, and she drove to the hospital instead of running the 5 miles.  She claims it was due to vanity. 

I can't wait to hear the news.  I'll put it on the blog when I find out.  Hopefully not too much longer!

Okay y'all...I've been away at the US National Whitewater Center for the last couple of days.  It was marvelous fun!

If you're ever near Charlotte, or just need an excuse to visit Charlotte, then you must go :-)

We went whitewater rafting (six one-hour long trips on the water), kayaked on the Catawba River, rock climbed, zip-lined, mountain biked, mega-jumped (40 foot drop), and confidence coursed on the high-wire.  I didn't run at all, except for the sprint I did from the confidence course to the rafting place so we didn't miss our trip time.  We got caught behind a cute little lady that was terrified of heights and took 30 minutes to finish a 10 minute course.  It was probably 1/3 of a mile, but I was booking it down the mountain side to get there on time.  I was a bit terrified of the mountain biking trails.  They were steeper and had a lot more trees than I'd imagined.  But after I got over my initial fears, I really, really, loved it.  WAY more fun than riding on the roads!!!  Took me back to my days in spinning class.

I am sore in so many places, but it feels rewarding, and was really worth it.  I'd love to go back sometime and take my kids.  But this was a nice get away for just the MR and me.

It'll be back to running for me on Monday.   Until then,  here's a couple of pix from the adventure.
