I started the day meeting friends at 6:15am for a 3 mile run then went back to North Shore Pool to help coach the "red team" for beginner marathon training. I got in about 4 miles while running with different members and finding out who was training for what.
After that, I went home and mowed my grass. Yikes... I was getting this done before the heat of the day and it was still really, really hot out!
After that, Tim got at it, fixing my bathroom ceiling while I painted the kitchen and hallway. Up the ladder, down the ladder - woah... I was so tired by the end of the day.
Sunday, I met a couple of girlfriends at 6am for a five mile run, then met the rest of the gang at 7am to finish up the total 15 mile run. The first five miles were great! The next five miles were not bad. The last five miles were grueling. I was tired and I was really, really hot.
It was nice ending back at North Shore Pool where a swim meet was going on. When we went in to get a drink of water from the fountain, we passed a guy selling Italian Ice. OK... I can run a little bit more. Back to the car to get some cash. 3 scoops (whoopee) - lemon, cherry, and watermelon. There's nothing better than ending a long hot run with an icy Italian Ice cooldown! Sweet!
