1.  Where the heck is summer around here?  Mother Nature is waffling.  It's like she's saying to herself, "Hmm, I really did enjoy spring this year.  Maybe it shouldn't be summer even though it says so on the calendar."  The last few days were beautiful: sunny, hot, verging on being just this side of unpleasant.  Today we get this:


2.  My first ever 2-a-day went so well!  I took Spud out for a 7.5km steady hour long jog in the morning on Tuesday.  It was a little later than I should have been out simply because I was a hot, beet red, sweaty mess by the end of it.  I completed my second run (a tempo) with my clinic, going 3.2km in 19:46.  That's about a 6:10/km average.  I was good until about 2km and then ran with a friend who I know is faster for the last bit.  I was about ready to die, but I blame that mostly on the earlier run.  My legs felt heavy, but I was super pleased.  Best thing of all was that I felt fine the next morning.

3.  I didn't mention it in my post on Tuesday because things were still being decided, but here are my teammates for Hood To Coast.  Make sure you check them all out - they are an amazing bunch of women and I'm so excited to meet them all!
