Feeling out of shape because of humidity

Yikes, it's supposed to be over a hundred degrees the next couple of days. It's like living in a furnace. The nine mile run was great, Saturday. Everybody looked great. The end of the run felt better than the beginning. I ran with Bessie, Paula, Rebecca (Ms. Tripp) and Bobbie. To each his own, but I couldn't do long runs without running buddies. Bessie and Paula helped relieve my mind about the Disney Marathon when they told me they would also be training for and running it in January. I had visions of doing my 20 and 22 milers all by myself during the holiday season.
I was telling Rebecca that someone needs to do a feature story/article about some of the LMMers. I have heard about someone beating cancer, people losing a lot of weight, and some who have over come a lot of adversity in life. And what are these people doing? Running/walking a marathon. There are some amazing people in this group! What an inspiring story that would be.
I dropped off the kids for their second day at their new schools. So far, so good. Because of the move, I'm disappointed I'm not able to run with the Tues/Thurs crew at the rez; unless they want to met at 5am. Yuck! (I wish I was a morning person) From where we live now, it's impossible for me to run with them at 5:30am, drive home and help get the kids ready(yep, they're spoiled), and then get them to school on time; especially with Mark having to leave at 6:15am and not able to help me. Plan B is now dropping the kids off and running at 7:45am on the trail at Rankin Med Center. I just think how nice and easy it will seem running in cooler Disneyland in three weeks. I feel so out of shape running in this heat and humidity. Hang in there, it's all worth it, I promise. Hope everyone has a great week.

We can run at 5 if that helps you. I know that Suzanne and Debra have started running on Thursdays at 5 am. I'm looking forward to when it gets colder to when we can run AFTER you drop the kids at school!!!!!!!
