Day 174

Have I mentioned that I hate summer in the South? I believe I have. Here's a good example why:


Look at that heat index!! That was before this:


Sadly, there was not much change after the run. However, the heat index went down by two degrees. Two!

Day 173

Day 172

Today's high temperature was 100 degrees and the heat index was 107. By the time we ran, it was a chilly 96 degrees, which made the run difficult. I managed to pull through but it was a struggle at times.

Have I mentioned that I really hate the hot temperatures in the summer? Because, I do. I really do.

Day 171

Happy Father's Day, Dad!!! You're the best!

Day 170

It's Jack's Birthday!!!

Day 169

I finally got brave and trudged ahead for Week 3. I felt like I was going to puke but I did it! I'm so proud of myself because I never thought I'd be able to run 3 minutes straight TWICE! But whoever thought a 90 second walk before the last 3 minute run is evil. Evil.

Day 168

Car wash time!

I lead an exciting life...

Day 167

Since I had a week vacation from running, I decided to do another Week 2 day. It wasn't as bad as the other night, but still not fantastic. I did complete all the runs but I was sooooo out of air by the last run. I'm still not sure if I'll start Week 3 with the next run or not. I know I can probably do it, it's just getting my mind around running 3 minutes non-stop twice.

Day 166

Brian took this picture in his sister's garden in Austin, TX and it's my new desktop background at work. It's so summery and happy!

Day 165

Sorry I've been MIA. I was on vacation, so I took a blog vacation as well. My plan was to go back and post for each today today, but our internet isn't working. Boo.

But back to reality:



After a week off, it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

Where's Brian? :)

Day 158

Bribery at its finest.

Day 157

Week 2, Day 2

Still rough, but better than the other day. I can't stop getting a side stitch on the 5th run. Anyone know how to avoid that?

Day 156

Caitlin and I had a girl's night last night and checked out the new piano bar in town. It's so nice to actually have a nice bar in this town! It's smoke-free and a lot of fun. It was really nice to come out of a bar and not stink! (In this town, that's a huge deal, too.)

Day 155

Week 2, Day 1

I was terrified to run 90 seconds straight. (I hope in a few weeks I can look back and laugh at that statement.) I was actually dreading it a little. Determined not to give up, I pushed through and completed all of the runs. It wasn't that bad actually!

Day 154

It's Rodeo Time! My dad and I have been going to the rodeo together since I was in elementary school. Brian's been going with us the past couple of years, but missed out this year. So, dad and I had some good father-daughter-bonding time this year. :)





Also, Happy Birthday Jade!

Day 153

I got my haircut today! I was a little embarrassed to be bringing in a picture of Tori Spelling as my inspiration, but whatever. She has cute hair.

Please excuse the horrible self-portraits through the bathroom mirror at work.

Completed Week 1! Today was a lot easier than Monday and I felt good about the run. It was cloudy and not as humid as Monday, which helped. Ready for Week 2...I think. :)

Day 152

It's hot and I do not appreciate it. I want Spring back.
