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.

Went spinning this morning.  Saw several familiar faces and new ones too.   Brought my camera with me to show off my new grandson.  My instructor played a Dave Matthews song called "Granny" in my honor.  I asked my instructor (Mark) to take it easy on me since I'm a little sore from speed work yesterday...he didn't.  He is famous for turning up your tension and he did mine today.  I have a love/hate relationship with my instructor.  I loved it when he played "Granny",  hated it when he turned up my tension.

4 easy miles in the hood.  Not so humid today, felt pretty nice this morning.  Meeting my niece is really helping to keep me motivated to get out of bed in the morning.

Got up earlier today to do 9 miles with my niece before she had to go to summer school.  Humid this morning but not too bad being up before the sun.  We saw some bunnies and goose poop but that was about it.  Did a sprint for my grandson, filling my lungs as I willed him to do the same...love that baby.
