I’m slowing waking up. My coffee is helping do the trick. I hit the snooze button too many times this morning. I wanted to be up by 7:15 and finally dragged my butt out of bed at 7:50 a.m. I’m meeting Delaine at her house before our long run.

I want to run at least 10 miles. I want to keep my mileage up. Yesterday I ran alone in the middle of the day. Big mistake. It was so bloody hot. I didn’t carry any water because I was going to go for just an hour. Another mistake. It was brutal. I did hill repeats near Suicide Hill. I wanted to work my legs a bit. I only felt better when I made it to the Pavilion to gulp down some water.

I can already see it’s going to be a hot one…
