    Sunny, low 70s F, and miserably humid today. Not as good a run as yesterdays -- but still OK.
    Got to see the comet Neowise last night. It was pretty clear through binoculars, but I couldn't see it with my naked eyes. Mosquitoes were glad I went out to look.

    @rheddmobile Wow....a week for telemed. That stinks. Hang in there/

    @janejellyroll sorry about the sore back. I wake up sore most days - gotta be age....it does work itself out pretty fast though but still frustrating.

    @Tramboman We were outside last night at around 9:30 cst looking for our comet friend. No luck. It was clear, the stars were all there but we were searching under the big dipper, between the north star and dipper ie NW. No luck. We have some weakish binoculars. Maybe too much light in our hood. We will try again tonight. Glad you caught it. I love space. I don't love mosquitos and they were well fed!

    @Scott6255 Hope the treadmill works out. The other idea is to see if any gyms are closing down...they may be selling equipment. I need some bigger dumb bells and they are not for sale anywhere.

    I saw this challenge pop up on my instagram feed. The Food Run Challenge. They currently have it in 6 regions but I think you can choose any of them if your state is not represented. You sign up for distance that you commit to covering each week over 6 weeks. The money raised from the fees go towards food banks and hunger relief programs. I like it because its running, walking and biking. I can hit all 3! I will do the Texas one and shoot for 20 miles a week or 120 miles (also have 30,60,90 as options). Here is a link: https://www.endurancemag.com/

    @Scott6255 Yeah for a good run when you were feeling poorly.

    @Tramboman I want to go out and see the comet before it disappears. The mosquitoes will be happy when I do too.

    @katharmonic Good for you for slogging it out and getting it done.

    I played singles tennis again this morning, for about 1.5 hours. It was hot. We were sweaty. But it was fun. I toyed with running when I got home, but took a shower instead. I probably will have to take Monday as a rest day, so I hope to make myself get up early in the morning and run before Facebook Church.

    @Tramboman I was looking at your post and have a question. What is the difference between your definition of slow and easy? For me, they tend to be the same thing. If it's easy, it's definitely slow!

    Yesterday, I went to a body pump class and then did a 3 mile treadmill run. Today, I was scheduled for 5 miles. I woke up in the middle of the night with my back so tight and sore. I ended up walking towards the end of today’s run due to my back and the heat. I’m wondering if I strained it during body pump yesterday. I’m going to take it easy for the rest of today, and I’m currently sitting with a heating pad for a bit to if that will help.

    My friend just sent me a link to this race that raises money for The National Alliance for Mental Health (NAMI), so of course being a therapist and mental health director, I feel like I have to do it. The medal is pretty cool too and looks similar to a mural one of our inmates painted in our lobby.
