Hot Sunday

It's the second day in a row it is above 90°. I did my runs yesterday and today before 7am to beat the heat. Otherwise they would have been impossible. I have the dilemma now where I'm running too fast and getting whipped out at the end. I'm trying to slow it down, but it's really hard.

Today I had volunteered to help out at the university to set up the stage for an event tonight. That was actually pretty interesting. I hate being such a weakling though. I'm not the heavy lifting type of girl. I met some really nice people from around campus too. Of course I didn't just do it to help. I will add it to my CV as service.

So that's it for Sunday. The rest of my evening is going to be pretty relaxed which is good because tomorrow is the first day of class and it's bound to be a zoo at the old workplace.

Another Beautiful Saturday...

I took advantage of the morning and went for a 5-mile run around 7am in the park. It was almost eerie there. It was just me and the animals. I could hear something howling in the distance. I carry my pepper spray for good measure. 5 miles is my longest run yet. I don't really have any goals. I would like to get to 10 miles eventually. I felt good and strong. My knee starting hurting a little around 3 miles, but then that went away.

A friend of mine asked me out this evening and I had to decline. I like him a lot and I consider him a good friend, but Saturday night is not a good idea. He is involved with someone else and I don't want to get in the way of that. He still carries a torch for me. It's sad, but that's the way it is.

I plan to do some cooking today. Finally! I've gotten away from that, but there are a couple of summer dishes I want to make before summer is over.
