5 miles in the hood with my niece on her bike.  Fastest mile 8:50, slowest 10:48.  AP 10:05.  I really need to work on my speed.  I'm hoping I can blame my sluggishness on the heat and humidity.  I'm hoping with cooler weather will come faster times.  My race is October 2nd, so I still have time.   Now I'm off to see my new grand baby boy.

P.S.  QP, I found a pirates treasure on my run.  I will post it once I figure out how to put a picture on this thing.

Congrats on your new grandson. I don't think you look old enough to be a grandma.

I'll be waiting to see you post your "treasure" pix :)

Thanks bye-wing. I wore my running skirt on the long run Friday. Someone referred to my great niece (my nieces daughter), as my daughter. I didn't correct them. My niece, Charisma, and I just looked at each other and smiled. I also passed a friend who was riding a bike and she said "I need to start running so I can look as good as you". I am sure that all of these compliments are because of the "power of the skirt", not to mention finishing 11 miles on the hottest day of the year.

Congrats on being a grandmother. So happy for you!!
