Steamy run at 7:20am.  Oh my someone turn down the humidity!!!    Ran up 1100 north on to the canal to avoid the sun coming over the mountains as long as possible.  Ran into the sun the last 2.5 miles. 8.1 miles @ AP 8:03.  This was not easy in this heat.  Did I mention that I don't run well in the heat?  Even the sprinklers watered me with warmness!!!  Did lower body and core on the cards.  Courtney only joined me for a couple exercises as she was way too excited for her BIG 12th Birthday Party today.  It started at 10am (the first of 10 other girls arrived at 9:40am).  By 1030am we were out the door to Lehi's Trafalga where they got to choose three activities (they did mini-golf 18 holes, lazer tag and go Karts), a slice of pizza/can of soda and dippin' dots,  then they each got 20 tokens to use and get tickets to buy more stuff.  It was like the party that never ends.  We were supposed to be back by 2:30 but we got back at 3:30 and still had the gifts to unwrap.  So it continued for another 45 minutes.  Pretty much a 6 1/2 hour birthday party.   We had to finally offer rides home to the girls to get them to stop partying.  They had such a great time!!  I wasn't stressed at all, despite the intense heat.  It was really fun to be with all the young women!!  But I am now pretty wiped out and have to work in less than an hour!!!  so ends my party :  (.  When will this humid summer end?

Glad you clarified what kind of steamy you were talking about. I was thinking steamy romance novel.
