It’s Too Hot to Run!

Record breaking temps here (Arizona) 117º has brought my running to a halt. And I was reaping benefits too 😦
I am however, trying to make up for it in my pool. Truth is…it’s not the same. I’ll sure be glad for cooler temps (our winter) to get here. Until then…I’ll live (with envy) vicariously thru this bloggers escapades 😉
At least it has me still feeling the positive effects of running…in my mind 😀

Skinny Running

I know you probably think this blog has more in common with the weather report than a woman trying to lose weight by running if you have been keeping up to date, but ever since I started running I have been paying more attention to it. Good weather means a high chance of a good run. Hot and humid means the chances are rather meager.
