Playing Catch(up)

I’ve been quiet for a while so I guess I should catch up.

I have quit running and biking. Well, not so much quit as taken a hiatus. While riding my bike one afternoon I suffered from heat exhaust. Not surprising since it was 102⁰ with high humidity. The heat exhaustion lead to a migraine that lasted 6 days. I decided that I needed to put my health first and although running and biking are healthy, I will get no benefits from it if I am dead. Once the temps finally get back down to the lower 90’s, I will slowly resume working out outside. To ensure that I do not slack off, I went ahead and signed up for a 5K on October 17th. That gives me two months to get ready. It is supposed to rain all this week but be clear and low 90’s next week so hopefully I can get some time in then.

I did go jogging one night with my friend Pricilla. Well, I walked more than I jogged but I did do some jogging so I am considering it a victory! We only went about 1 ½ miles but it is more than I have done in over a month.
