5  is the loveliest number that I will ever run....in this HEAT!!! HOLY MOLY who started the fire?  I mean searing heat that even the wind is not that inviting!!!  And it is quite the wind.  Last night it blew our very nice grill off our deck and down the stairs on to the concrete.  Bummer.  A wheel is busted and some fender benders.  Dang.    I saw it whirling in the wind while sitting at my kitchen table and screamed out to Troy and couldn't get there in time before it crashed.  BTW NO sprinkler to welcome me to optimism on this run until the last 1/2 mile!!!  Wowsers!! Parched with cotton mouth it was just a mind over heat run.  Back pain there, going nowhere.  I just push through it as usual with anything.  Same loop as yesterday only in reverse.  AP 8:03.  Kept this more of an even pace not so much progressive.  Hosed myself off at the end.  Even my hose water was warm!!

COTTON MOUTH STINKS!!!

That wind was psychotic last night, glad it died down in time for the morning run!

Summer wind is like fanning the fire...sizzling HOT!!!!

SO SORRY about your grill...that was a wicked wind!!!

WAY to tough out the HEAT and back pain! On your next run in the heat, try putting an ice cold sponge in your running cap!!!

Kelli- I ran this at 1pm so I missed the morning "trying" to sleep after work. Saturday should be very interesting. I am wasted.
