T MINUS 37 AND COUNTING

Fourth Monday of the week.

Super excited today! I stepped on the scale and saw a brand new number I haven't seen since going in the wrong direction. 162.4! Woohoo! I'm down another 2 lbs for about a total loss of 17 lbs. I hope this is a real number and not an anomaly but I'll take for what it is!

I did exercise hard yesterday, though. I did my stadium workout for about a half hour then went for a slow jog (not by choice,lol) for another 20 minutes after that.

Weather for the next 10 days! Ugh!

It was so hot, 94 degrees, and the ramps and stairs were so hard. I'm so happy that I was rewarded with the lower number on the scale. I hope it doesn't reflect dehydration....hmmmm. I tried to stay well hydrated, though. I guess I'll know tomorrow.

Well, it appears summer is almost here. When the humidity matches the temperature it's summer. I might as well enjoy the dry air while I can despite the heat :-(.

I need to acclimate myself to the heat, anyway. It will make running darn near anywhere else so much easier since it's hard to match the heat here and harder, still, to match the heat coupled with the level of humidity we get.  It will just make me a stronger runner in cooler temps ;-P.

I guess elevation might negate the cooler temps since I am at sea level. Well, I'd be willing to try! I can't quit running, anyway, till I at least run a half or full marathon in each of these great 50 states! I think I have 42 to go. Let's see, I have done, in alphabetical order: Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Washington DC. I know DC is not a state but I have to include the capital of the country in my endeavors. Ok, so that is 8 plus DC. ...can't wait to do Hawaii some day! This year I'm hoping to add South Carolina. I'm definitely getting Nevada in November. Wow, that would be 20% of the country. Cool!

Ok, enough for today. Gotta go.
