    @katharmonic I have always wanted to try stand-up paddle boarding. It looks like fun and a good workout.

    @midwesterner85 and @5BeautifulDays Nice job pushing through your runs in the heat! I'm usually the type of person who is always cold no matter what, but when I start running I whine about even the nicest weather. It's been not only hot, but extremely humid where I live, so I've been trying to make friends with the treadmill.

    @amymoreorless Woah! I guess the thrill seekers will never be satisfied. Everything is bigger in Texas though, right?

    The last few days have been busy so here's an update...
    6/14 pouring rain so had to run on the elliptical. Managed 5.02 miles in 1 hour.
    6/15 made up for missing yesterday's run. 2.5 mile run/walk
    6/16 rest day
    6/17 accidentally walked to church and back. 1.3 miles. Hubby and I walked out and locked the door without the car/house keys. Oops! He had to use a ladder to climb in a second story window to let us back in the house. Guess it was God's way of telling me not to take two rest days in a row LOL!
    6/18 6:30 run/walk 2.1 miles. It's already super uncomfortable outside. 81degrees, 72 degree dew point and 74% humidity. Yuck! But I ran anyway so it's a win!
    Total added 10.92 miles
    Monthly total 37.01/40

    @juliet3455 thanks for the link that worked
    @kat_ontherun if Skip didn’t get an offer to run in college she definitely would have continued with the sport, she loves it. Good way to keep off the freshman 15 ha ha
    @PastorVincent on agree on the house inspections, amazing the things that turn up that you never notice.
    @Scott6255 please don’t play with Achilles pain.
    @HonuNui that is so funny! Go @Elise4270 don’t get those shoes muddy
    @mbaker566 that dog is too sweet
    @ddmom0811 sounds like you are enjoying St. Pete

    Oh, @mbaker566 I love that little dog - so cute. Hope he finds a wonderful home soon.

    @kat_ontherun you should try SUP, it was definitely fun and I felt it in the legs for sure. Good core work!

    @Elise4270 I am in for the MFP trip to Hawaii when you win that lottery. I will even get a tattoo if everyone else is! :)

    Last run at the lake this morning! Still really hot but I found another trail that was almost all shade. Nice run along the lake and across a little dam/spillway area. It was pretty tempting to wade in there but I was only half way at that point. When I got back though I was at the beach and able to wade in a bit. So nice.

    Now it's time to check out and go back to regular life!

    16.3 miles so far this month for me. All on the treadmill which isn't ideal but better than nothing. Will probably do a few more easy miles on the treadmill tomorrow, then it's the J P Morgan Corporate Challenge on Thursday evening. It looks as if it's going to a very hot and sticky 3.5 miles, so that post-race beer will be very welcome.

    Ran 2 miles outside this morning and finished up 3 more on the treadmill. It was just too hot outside - my poor dog laid down in the shade at about 1.5 miles and took quite awhile to get going again.
