Then the drought hit.

The insatiable, undying, intense heat.

Every day over 90*, starting in the 70’s.

So blasted hot.

Too hot to run without passing out.

Finally we had a break.  Cool mornings.

So for the past 3 weeks I’ve been back at it.

I still can’t sustain a run for a long time and I’m sort of speed-bumping my way through that c25k thing.  My muscles are weeping, my body is tired – but I can see that finish line now.

In 25 days come hell or high water – I’ll be running a 5k.

I just hope I come out the other end. 😉
