Our neighbor the sun


Monday 3.0 miles/24:16/8:06 average pace

I was smart to cut this run short, as it was about 95 degrees outside. My actual reason was that the sharks game started at 6:00 and I was short on time, but it all worked out. Except for the sharks, of course. Their season fizzled out last night, but what a season it was. I can't wait to see how far they can go next year. :) Red Wings are such a good team, I hope they go all the way.

Oh, ya, running. So I was really hot and tired and thirsty. I ran my first mile in 8:22, second mile in 8:14, and cranked out the last mile in 7:39. No wonder I felt like I was going to pass out! I was ok though, nothing a cold beer couldn't fix. :)



This morning I got up and swam 15 laps = 750 meters in about 20 minutes. Weeee!

You mean they are still playing hockey? Hard to tell here since the Coyotes have been on the golf course for about a month. They should probably just stay there next season, too, since they haven't made the playoffs since the Clinton administration.

Great job with the run and I really like the bike...very nice!

No one is allowed to complain about the sun! In Seattle the sun is neither a neighbor nor even a distant relative that sometimes visits. My apologies, I'm still experiencing CA withdrawl...awesome on the run, I think you should do a 5k soon and set a new PR.

Neat pic of the sun. When it gets that hot, I just try to remember what it was like to run in subzero temps in January and February. It won't seem so bad after a couple of weeks anyway.

Damn you're a fast swimmer! I wanna be like you! It took me 35 minutes to swim 804 meters yesterday, but the point is... I actually swam. Thanks for motivating me! I need it.

Too bad about the Sharks. My hubby is a huge fan. Who knows what next season will bring though.

Let me get this straight Jen... You are an exercise nut, like sports, and drink beer. Lucky Zach!! ;-)
