Ran 10 early this morning.  Left just before 6 a.m. and it was already HOT and STICKY.  I put my water bottles in the freezer, and by mile 4 they are already melted.  Oh well, at least I get a little cold water :)  The run was actually pretty good today.  I believe today was Hobble Creek 1/2 marathon back in Utah.  Sure missing that.  I wore my Hobble Creek shirt in honor of it.  :)  Brought my music along with me, too, this morning.  Told my hubby he doesn't talk to me enough while we run, I need something of a distraction.  I turned it on after mile 5 and the AC/DC got me all pumped up :)  Gave me back the kick I needed.  

Did our 10 in about 1:35, so not too fast.  I'm hoping when I do the 10 mile run in October here I can do around a 1:25.  Still not my tip top shape, but I've lost a little with everything this summer.  Hope to get back to the shape I was in last summer.

Summers here in Texas are tough. You are not as far off as you think you are and once it cools off, you will be amazed at how much better you feel and easier it is.

Thanks, Jody. I am looking forward to the winter running here :) I'll be glad not to run in ice and snow this year. I guess the only upside of the hot weather is the weight loss - I think I lose 5 pounds every time I go out - lol.
