I am still training away for the 1/2 on Sept 25th ...

It has not been easy..

this was a 7:30 in the evening 

1. The heat is a beating!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to train in...... 104 and that is at 730 in the evening... that people is the norm this summer for my training!!!!!!!!!


2. NEVER forget your water or start too late on hot days....on my 7miles weekend 8/6  I forgot it and started later that I should have ..(830am). It scared me bad, I was so hot,  muscle started cramping, and exhaustion was setting in.   I will NEVER do that again.

1/2 training still going on and on and on

Yes i have been crazy!!! I am still training for the 1/2 in this heat. I told my BF that i would never just wear a sports bra with shorts to workout in.... I LIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when you start workout time @730pm and it is still in the 100's I will wear as less clothes as possible with out being arrested for indecent exposure. I now have a neon yellow, hot pink, tye dye blk/wht, and gray sport bra to beat the heat in!!!  
I got me some new runner... so pretty... but had to break them in....Brook Adrenaline GTS11... so far love them!!!  

The last few weeks had been somewhat hard for me to get my training in... i did it.. but not very good. the week of the 7/17-7/23 I only got one 3miler workout in. that was a BAD week!!!

july rocks!!!

July is one of my most favorite months ever!!!
Let me list why!
4 of July... bbq and fireworks family and friends!!!

The family vacation.... whooo hoooo.... Port Aransas and San Antonio!!!!

I love this vacation spot. I cant think of any other place that I want to spend my time.
We spent 4 wonderful relaxing days getting sunburn, eating lots of seafood, playing in the water, feeding seagulls, and souvenir shopping. Then headed off to San Antonio to see the sites and sounds...plus spend some time with Gene's mom and PopPop.

It was also my 25th yr class reunion. Love that group. Great to catch up with old friends.

Power walk my July 5K @ the Summer Sizzler.

And let not forget my birthday 7/31....hehehe... 44yrs young this year.
