| I was able to sleep in a little bit this morning, but was happy to get myself up and out the door by 7:45am. This is still too late given the heat, but it was earlier than I have been getting out the past few days. It helped that the dogs went back to sleep with my husband. I felt alright for the most part. Needless to say, it was warm. Temperatures are supposed to hit the upper 90's again today. The only issue that I ran into today was that someone took my water bottle. I am not sure if they wanted what warm water was left or they thought it was garbage. I was almost done when it happened and there was only a 10 minute window in which the theft took place. I guess that it was bound to happen. |

| This was brutal! With this being my final day off before going back to work, I decided to sleep in. I didn't get up until 7:30am and by the time that I got up, got dressed, ate and walked the dogs, it was just about 9:00am when I stepped foot outside to run. I don't know officially if it was warmer this morning than it has been the past couple of days, but the heat just sucked the life out of me. I knew things would not be good when I wanted to walk after mile 2. I wound up walking quite a bit, especially during the last mile. Days like this happen. I just read a little while ago, that we are under another heat advisory until tonight. Temperatures are scheduled to hit the upper 90's again, with the heat index around 110 degrees. I will be back on my work schedule tomorrow, which means early rising for me. |

| Back to Work! I was up at 4:30am so that I could get outside by around 5ish. It was dark, but I wanted to see how comfortable I would be running outside at this hour. It wasn't bad, but I did find myself looking over my shoulder from time to time. I had a little flashlight with me that helped when I ran through the particular dark spots. It was very nice not to feel suffocated by the heat of the sun, although it was still quite warm out there. I could tell because at mile 2, I looked down at my watch using my flashlight and noticed that my arms were already shiny from the sweat. I finished in under 11 minute miles (finally). Since today was day 6 in a row, my plan is to take tomorrow off and run again on Thursday. |

| Today was first day back at the gym in at least a couple of weeks. It was alright for the most part. I thought that I may have a shot at getting 7 miles in, but unfortunately, I had some stomach issues that limited my day to 6 instead. I was also trying to get into work a little earlier since we were having an open house at 8:00am. Outside of the stomach, I felt fine on the treadmill. |

| I was up at 4:40 this morning after a lousy nights sleep. I chose to run outside instead of going to the gym. Because I got up a bit later, I had more light towards the second half of my run. Once again, I ran my four loops of 1.75 miles each. It wasn't a very good run. I was tired and I believe a tad stressed with the first day of school approaching next week. There is always so much to do the final day of pre-planning and the weekend prior to the first day. I did walk on occasion, but ran the majority of it. It was warm, but not awful since I wasn't dealing with the sun. |

| I was exhausted this morning. Getting back to waking up at 4:30am really took its toll on me this week. I decided to sleep in so that my body could rest up a bit. Since it was so late when I got up, I decided to go to the gym with my husband. He was kind enough to add on time to his workout time so that I could get my miles in. My original plan was to run 10 miles, which is what I usually do on Saturdays, but I was satisfied with 8 mainly because I felt so sluggish this morning. I have found that the one downside to sleeping in is that I tend to think about my running too much. When I get up at the crack of dawn, I don't really give it too much thought. I just get up, eat and head out the door. |
