One more HOT day...

...and the relief is on its way. In the form of RAIN. YAYYYYYY! YAHOOO! YES!! I have never been so excited about rain, but we need it very badly here. Plus it hit over 100 degree - first time in 11 years. Ugh! Well, I had a very late night last night. I was out in the squad car with another officer - little bit of training and a little bit of fun getting bad guys out of the streets. I was out until 12:30, but did not get to bed until 2 am because of the adrenaline and just very hungry. I was able to get up and out of bed by 10 am. I headed to the gym for 45 minutes of cross-training on the elliptical machine. It was very fun. After I finished, I cooled down and stretched a lot! I focused on my IT band and shins. When I got home and showered, the Biofreeze went on - because I was too short on time. I headed out for my appointments. Then I dropped the hubby off to the in-laws before I went back out for more LEO stuff. First of all, it was a BIG pain to wear non-breathable fabrics in 100 deg. heat. Thank GOD for the A/C and not get out of the car. I did lots of driving. Well, the rain is almost here and need to finish reading blogs tonight going to bed. Depending on the weather and it stays dry, I will try to run OUTSIDE...Yes - or wait until Weds or so, which I will do cross-training tomorrow. Today's Work-out 45 minutes - Eliptical Machine 4.32 miles 504 calories 10:24/mile

Yeowch! Hot, hot, hot.... glad the rain is coming.

I learned something great the other day - Kevlar was invented by a woman! As a cop I thought you might appreciate that.

Yes, definitely hot...but I still don't mind it. I even went 4 outside after work, but with your asthma, I can understand it not being good for you. This AM though, I was up and out the door at 5:40 for my run in rain...forgot the hat to keep water off my face, but man if felt good to come home dripping and not be from sweat!! :) Running in rain is fun!! Repeat after me...

Oh, and I know you're big on the smoothies, I just found a new yummy treat thanks to a free drink from Caribou that expired yesterday and I needed to use and didn't want to have caffeine before bed...the Pom-mango Smoothie there...it's sooooo yummy!! And there is a Caribou right by Whole Foods where you normally get your smoothies!!

I hear you on the hot crap. Today is the second of three predicted 100+ degree days here in the Lou.
Nice job on getting the workout done!

We are supposed to get a cool front in a couple of days - I don't know if we'll get rain, but I will be grateful for any reduction in humidity. I'm sick of feeling like spit out chewed gum when I run.
