I picked up my 12 year old niece and she drove with me to my camper.  I ran along a stretch of road that is flat and stays shaded until 11am but it was still hot.  My niece rode her bike along with me and handed me water when I asked for it.  Can't beat that!

AP:  9:59    

Split:  10:18, 9:49, 9:49.   

Tomorrow I plan on getting up at 5am, be on the Rail Trail by 6am, and run 11 miles.   Maybe my husband will come along and be my water boy.  All I can do is ask!  Wish me luck! 

p.s. My sleep number was set too high last night and I didn't realize it until I woke up with my nightsweats (something you too will some day enjoy...NOT).  I got it juuust right at about 4am, then got up at 6.  Tonight will be my sweet sleep number night (hopefully).

I'm so glad you had some company for your run today. Nothing like having a little extra charisma to help you get through the heat of the day.

good luck tomorrow early on the trail run. hope your water boy makes it out there with you.

glad you got the sleep # thing worked out.
