    @PastorVincent It looks like a cute house! Crossing fingers for a good inspection.

    Re: rain
    I've never been one to shy away from rain. I love it. And I miss it and I probably get way to excited for it. I hate driving here when it rains because there's no real gutter/sewer so it floods. And then big trucks fly through and I fear my engine will flood. Oh and 99% of people freak out and either drive way too crazy or way too cautious. There's no in between.

    i don't mind the rain. but my dogs won't go in thunder and lightening. and i sorta feel like i shouldn't either. and i don't run without at least 1 dog for safety

    @PastorVincent totally a pastor type house. a little different landscaping and it could be very welcoming.

    Hi y'all! I haven't updated in forever. I am not being as consistent as I should. Both with keeping up and doing my work outs. That 3 month break has killed any stamina I had before and the new meds make me want to eat all the foods! Not a good combo.

    At least I have a goal in 4 weeks to try and get to. I have the bike down...the run....meh.

    I was hoping to finish in 2 hours... i looked up the times last year and the last person to finish was 1:47:xx. I'm concerned haha!

    The bike is the largest portion, so that's where I'd want to be ready. You got this! Me? Not so much. Haha!

    I'm eyeing the donuts in the break room. I know its stress related... I'm buying my coworkers tacos today so i keep thinking that is going to be my stress eating indulgence with comradrarie.

    6/20: 5 miles
    6/21: 4.3 miles

    65.2/75 miles

    Another humid run today. It was even worse than the last 2 days. It was 72F when I started out, but the humidity was 94% and the dew point was 70 which is in the "very humid and uncomfortable" "expect pace to suffer greatly" range. It was a really tough run. The air felt so thick and there was not even a breeze to cool things off. I managed 4.3 miles and I was able to keep my average pace under 12 min but just barely. The humidity might not be so bad if we actually got some rain, but the rain just seems to go around us. I've never really had an opportunity to run in the rain. We don't get a lot of rain and when we do it is usually thundering and lightening and often hail and high winds. A nice gentle rain is very unusual.

    @PastorVincent Good luck with the house inspection!

    @theresa502 Good luck on the 10K tonight!

    @sarahthes Good luck on the trail race on Sunday!

    @cburke8909 Good luck on the race Saturday!

    @midwesterner85 Glad there was nothing unusual in the x-rays. I hope your knee is better soon!

    @PastorVincent That is a LOVELY looking house. I am also terrible at buying houses--they always have something dreadfully wrong with them that we manage to uncover after it's too late.

    @PastorVincent - That house has great curb appeal, and I trust you found it just as appealing inside.

    On the rain . . . I wouldn't have walked out into it. I would have run to my car. The weather is always nicer when I'm running than when I'm walking.
