Running in Hot Weather
Before I forget, I wanted to share a quick anecdote about my recent running adventure. After a quick lunch we had some free time before our next meeting and Tim and I went home. Tim was feeling tired from a late night but I wanted to go work out. We now have a gym membership but I needed Tim to go with me to go to our gym as I do not quite know how to get there yet. So I figured I would just brave the elements and go running outside. Now, this was in the heat of the day and it was closing in on 105 degrees. However, I was aware of the harsh conditions and brought 2 liters of water on my journey. I started the run and stopped every few minutes to take pictures of the local beauty, like sand boxes and dead cats and stuff. About 20 minutes into the run, I had no water and every limb in my body was cramping. I was not sweating because the heat was so fierce that the sweat would dry right off my body. I knew I was in trouble and began to walk home. I finally made it home and as soon as I took a step into my cool living room my body let go the sweat floodgates. I did not stop sweating for the next 15 minutes. Safe to say that I will never do that again, and from now on I will just sit at home in the air conditioned family room. Love you all.

I guess you'll have to save the running for OR. So when can you skype? Wed your time @ 10 pm? or Thursday your time @ 10pm? Yes? No? maybe? Daddy-O
