I may have run a little slow this morning... it took me 1 hour to run 5.5 miles, but I feel great! I'm so happy I got out of bed this morning, and out on the street!

Isnt it a great feeling when you have miles behind you early morning and dont have to dread the heat and other elements that get in the way the rest of the day? Nice job, so whats the temps in the morning there? like 90? our mornings are dipping down in the 50's and 60's right now. Its actually a little brisk at first.

Yeah, it's in the 90's when I'm running (even at 4:30 am when I start). I'm looking forward to this fall when it cools down. I'm hoping that I will be able to run a little longer than. :o)

Thats why everyone and there dog has a pool down there! Its funny to fly into Pheonix and see so many pools! I admit Im envious when the weather breaks. Ill be down there running this winter, you mark my words.

Too bad you didn't get a chance to serve! Those who want to go are usually the best missionaries we have! I got back in December of 2007 and I was in the spanish wards...wow they have some good food but it did major damage to my health. I have to lose about 20 lbs first to ever be competitive again in running. It will be interesting. But seriously, Sasha makes me feel like I can do it! Keep up the running! It took me 1 hour to run 5 miles last night, so don't feel too bad :)

In that heat I think that is pretty respectable. Hopefully better weather is around the corner but personally I would be haeding for the treadmill

From Camille on Aug 20, 2008 at 19:19:02

I can't run on a treadmill. I have to be going somewhere. It seems I give up really easy if I'm on the machine.

From walter on Aug 20, 2008 at 20:25:12

Im with you there Camille! I have to put a towel over the mileage because its slower going. I actually dont mind doing a tempo run on them in the winter when I know I cant run fast outside.
