AM- 72/100% 6 Easy before church, up very early. 

PM- 90/74% Dew Point is crazy.... 5 Easy, legs felt good and could have ran hard. I am going to try and stay easy for some days and focus more on my hard days. We will see...  

Heat Warnings/Advisories already out for Monday. I am sure my friends in Texas have it worse, best wishes.

AM- 75/100%  6 Easy... wet... I ran through a few sprinklers to dry off... 

PM- 93/56%- Excessive heat warning they say... heat index 103. Was not the worst, but it was hot... and wet- 5 kinda easy miles.  If you read this flat, I am complaining worse than you :) Since right now I am trying to figure out what is worse, this heat or the ice storms....

6am, 80/100%... Somethings got to give ... - I sometimes wear my glasses in the morning run until I get my contacts in. They kept steaming up as I ran. 8x20s Striders to keep loose... 

PM- 92/60% Some cloud cover made it 'feel' better. 5+ easy, decent day of work. Anybody around here eat yogurt? I love this organic vanilla stuff, throw some blueberries in it and it is a good after run bite.

AM- 80/100% Tough running. Busy and long day at work. My left thigh is hurting somewhat. I can't tell if it is just  a sore muscle or what. I will have to ice tonight. 

PM- 85/70% Much better, except the thigh. It is bugging me more right now. Hopefully it will go away in a few days, I don't want it to hold me up. Grilled some crab and peppers for my dinner, no one else around me likes crab, so no need to share :)

After a rough start to the day, I figured I would try a med-long to long run in the middle of the day. I knew it was hot, but I thought I was going to suck it up. 93/60% Heat Index 105 degrees... So after a quick 1st mile I ran the next 3 at MP. I kept looping so I could grab sips of water. At mile 4 I started to slow down and by mile 5 my face was very hot. I ran a cool down to end at 6 miles. Bummer. 

9m- 7 miles- 8:20/ - did not push faster due to the heat index still near 100, but since the sun was down it was much more tolerable.So enough weather, I had some fun in the kitchen with black rice, sweet potatoes, chicken, pork, peppers from the garden, onions and bacon....  Dessert was great- if you ever had a 'Blondie' from Applebee's, I make something called a'Brunette' - its similar, but I use dark chocolate instead of white - and chocolate/carmel instead of just carmel.
