And The Heat Goes On

My apologies for the long delay.  I was finally able to get a few minutes on the home computer so I could update the blog.  Computer time is a hot commodity in the Guyer household.  The past two weeks have been consistent in that it has been hot and I have been training.  The long run on June 25 was a nice reprieve from the heat and humidity but that was about the only break. Work has also been pretty busy lately and distracting me from my ability to keep on blogging.  My next race is still a couple of weeks away so the material is a little dry. I will say I am really looking forward to the next race as it is was a milestone race for me two years ago and I am anxious to see how far I have come.

Final note, I did make it out to the McAlpine Greenway  on 7/2 which also includes a 5k course.  It was a course I would run in high school and it was very nostalgic to be out there. I will definitely be heading back out there.
