You are Going to Burst into Flames if you Step Foot Outside!

Ok. Not really. Maybe...
I feel like a sloth...But, then I remember that exercising is a lot harder in conditions like this.....

But, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was in a funk right now....

I'm stressed out with school.  My hours on the weekends are spent juggling family responsibilities and studying....

I miss being able to dive headfirst into running when the goings get tough....

But, at the same time, my body is telling me to deal with my stress in different ways cause running in this heat is not going to help....

Last week on a rare day when the daytime high was only 95 I went to Bootleg Canyon. I ran 4.5 miles and I had a great run.

It was only 88 when I was out there running around.

But, since then, the daytime highs are reaching record temperatures.  My  current block of classes ends on July 3rd.  I'm functioning in survival mode.....

In my last post,  I explained that I was on the mend from a back injury..... I took that week easy, and then the following week I was able to run 34.5 miles.   Last week my feet and left hamstring hurt so I scaled it back to around 15 miles...

I don't think I will be doing any "epic shit"  in the next few weeks..... I'm just going to be in maintenance/survival mode until the end of August.

I'm sorry for the whiny nature of this post.  But, I feel like doo-doo.

Thanks for reading.
