The weather outsides delightful

The weather has been phenominal. It is still warm outside but the humidity has been down and a breeze has even been felt on occasions. I've actually been running a lot outside this week because it has been so nice.

Slack logger

I have been a slacker at logging my runs because it is so hot outside I've just been running on the treadmill at the club. The heat index has been well over 100* everyday. So on some days the girls will go to the pool and I will hit the treadmill overlooking the pool.

Mary Ev, the dogs and I took a trip to Enterprise to visit my parents while Christi went to LaGrange for work. While there I did a track run which was pretty nice. It wasn't to hot only a slight breeze and I was able to keep a pretty good pace for three miles as I had been doing on the treadmill at 28:55. Then for the last mile I did some speed work walking half the track and then sprinting the other half. So I still finished 4 miles in 40:45, which I felt really good about.

Trip to Nashville

Passed the 600 mile mark. Feels pretty good. Took a trip with my lovely wife to Nashville. I got a nice little run in from The Hutton hotel (which is really nice by the way) to centennial park around the Parthenon and back.

It’s Officially a Heat Wave

It has been crazy hot.  Heat index well above 100°.  We have only received a small amount of rain, but it just raised the humidity.

My sister’s family came to visit this past weekend which was great.  I played a little bit of golf with my brother-in-law, Bob, early in the morning (6:20am) to be exact to beat the heat.  I played the best 9 holes of my life at Quail Ridge with 3 birdies and 3 pars to finish the front 5 over.
