Hot.

I had forgotten how hot a mid-afternoon run could be. I decided to go for a run yesterday afternoon .  I figured it was probably best to “re-acclimate” since I’ve got the Beach to Bay relay coming up this weekend!  It kind of snuck up on me…in the back of my mind I knew that I’d be running this race about a month after Paris, but I didn’t realize the month was up!  Can you believe exactly a month ago we ran the Paris Marathon?!?  Anyways, my run went suprisingly well despite the heat & humidity…even felt good enough afterwards to hit some tennis balls with punxsk8erdude &  Pita!  :)

Quick note.

Yep, I did it. I broke down, and jumped on the running skort bandwagon. I couldn’t help it. I just knew that it would go so well with my tiara and glitter sunglasses. I tested out the one I had purchased yesterday in a quick run this morning. The run went well, the skort did not. The elastic is not very tight, so it slid down my rear and I had to pull it up every few seconds until I just set the whole thing lower down on my waist. Not something I want to have to mess with during a race. So, today I bought the next size down. Tested it out in the store this morning before we opened. You know, while I was doing stock. (I did it on my 1st break, I swear!!)

I will be wearing said skort, tiara, and sunglasses in a race in Red Wing -yes, the shoe place!! Lumpy and I and some other She Runs folks are going down to run the Girls on the Run 5k and attempt to meet and chat with some of the folks who run their program. We’re still on track for starting GOTR by this fall, we think.  That’s it for my quick note. Goin’ to bed early, and runnin’ even earlier.
