Chalupa runners showed up in bright and colorful clothes today! Since Saturday was a long run day, today was my off day. My job today was to be the official circus clown. A pink kid’s bike came in handy 🙂

…this four hour difference.
Woke up for a long run thinking it would be 4am. Turns out it was already 8 am here in Atlanta.
Forced to put a shorter 7 mile run at 9:26 pace in 93 degrees temperature, bright sunlight and high humidity.
Worse, I did not count on the park water fountains to be not working. Hence did not bring any water 🙁

With that, I can check off half the country … Have run in 25 out of the 50 states.

Instead of the Chicago area, this was in the Milwaukee area…

Could not resist the beauty of the lake. As Natasha started unpacking her luggage and setting her dorm room up, I went back to the car, quickly changed and went for a run by the lake. After the run, came back to check on Tasha who had already set her room up neatly. With nothing much to add, I bid her goodbye hoping to put in another run when I come to pick her up…

Summer is here!! We have youngsters and not so youngsters joining us for our run. The youngsters found a convenient place to take rest as the adults were finishing up their runs!!

The idea was to put in a heat run to build endurance. So, at 2
PM, as the thermometer crossed 90 degrees, I hit the trail for a 10K run. Was working up a good sweat when suddenly out of nowhere came these bunch of clouds followed by some sharp showers. All that was left was a thoroughly drenched iPhone and self and near 100 percent humidity!!!
