back home as is the high (98%) humidity - 6 Miles early- Decent day today, picked up the youngest at horse camp. She really likes the activity and the horses. 

PM- 86- 5 Relaxed miles. Too warm for me, but since my mind was elsewhere it went fairly quick.

More later with 98% humidity? ugh! I don't know how all of you living with the heat and humidity do it! It is nice and dry here. You really would love the Bryce Canyon Half! :) ... I know, I know, too far away!

Buying avocados tomorrow!

Humidity is .. well not good here, I know others have it worse so I do my best not to complain, but when its almost (or at) 100% I get really wet- my shirt stuck to me so bad once last year I slightly pulled a shoulder muscle getting it off! funny but true hahaha :)

Bryce Canyon you say? You know- I may have to put that on my calendar for next year, I always like a new area/race. David almost has me convinced to go to CIM late this year.

HAHA! You really pulled a shoulder muscle?

We lived in Houston for a year in 1999 and I remember it being 100% humidity (I didn't even know there was such a thing unless it was raining)...anyway, I remember walking outside to get groceries out of our car and walking back in our apartment and I had water dripping down my legs and arms. I couldn't believe it! It was 100 but the news said it felt like 120.

On the other hand, it is so dry here that my 10 yr old girl keeps getting bloody noses. We need to get a humidifier in our house.

What is CIM?

My 7 yr old would love horse camp. I wish we had something like that here.

Did you break in your Garmin yet?

Steam- California International Marathon. It's suppose to be a fast one. Oh and if you find a horse camp I highly recommend it, Aly just loved it and talks about it all the time now.

Flat- Yes! I used it Friday and Took it for a test drive today (Sat)
