Tuesday

If you get my blog via email. Sorry for the last post you got before I was done proofing it. (Still playing with the iPad) If you don't get my blog in your email but would like to just let me know.

I am working on getting new pictures of the garden up. The garden don't look as green do to heat and plant lose. But I have been eating cucumber, onion, cantaloupe, basil and tomatoes  from the garden.  One thing that I have not been successful at growing here is corn. And I am still having a hard time with the pumpkins. We should have had only one generation of squash vine bores but do to the weather we are on generation two.  I know what the adult moth looks like so I am keeping a close eye on the pumpkins. (I did catch one the other day. They are bight colored and day time flyer's so that helps)

Saturday was an off day from training and Sunday was a cross train day. I slept long than I was planning on Monday, so I was going to wait till the evening to get my run in. (I think that this race will be more walking than running but I am doing it with my sister. So I am not worried about my time and just planning on having a good time.) But right now it is hard to run in this summer heat. At this point I should be focusing my time and mileage but I can't I need to worry about not over heating. It never cooled down enough to get my run in on Monday. So I did an indoor cardio walking workout. And it looks like that's what going to happen again today plus a swim. When it's 110 outside it's just not safe to run outside. I have some good walking workouts that I can do inside. They are the same one I use in the winter when it's to cold out. I do them in my shape up and I get a nice workout.

Just on a side note. I love my iPad. I started writing as I was sitting and getting my toes done.And I finished sitting in bed.

Training

I am once again in full training mode. I will be doing the See Jane Run Half-Marathon in Seattle on July 17th.  I would like to run/walk this race but because of leg issues I think it's going to be more like walk/jog. I will be doing the race with my sister, so it will be fun no matter the speed.(My sister walks as fast as me and she runs faster. So if anything I am going to be the slower one.) Right now I get my run* in after I drop off my youngest at school. So with only week and a half before school gets out for the summer,  I will have to find a new time. And with this being Texas the low temp not is below 70 now. Running earlier is the day works much better for me. I have already gotten to the point were I have to carry water with me and it well only get warmer.  I will most likely switch to a sunrise run time. I think that the sunrise has to be the coolest time of day when it is light out. I don't run in the dark. I street run it's just not safe, to many haz...
