Heat is On

The Missouri weather never fails to amaze me. Our last few days of highs in the 70's have quickly been replaced by the immediate arrival of a humid-filled, hot summer. The body however does not adapt so quickly, as Aimee and I soon found out.

The temperature was near 90 yesterday as Aimee and I got June off to a good start with a 6 mile run on the South Creek Trail. 4:00 pm may not be the most ideal time to run, but we wanted to add in the extra miles before attending bootcamp at the Fitness Center. Not in recent memory has this distance seemed so hard. I am thankful for the water fountain and the shade of the trees along the trail on days like today. I guess it will take some getting use to, but I know we will long for the warmer temperatures during the winter training months. After we put in a sweat drenched 10 miles for the day, the Papa John's pizza that followed was well deserved!
