Ran 15 miles ave pace 8:45.  I was so sweaty my feet were sloshing.  It was HOT!!!  My last run with Ryan. So very sad.  After that we took my girls to the swamp to walk around and look for creatures.  Kate ended up falling in backwards.  Very traumatic and hilarious at the same time.  There were huge spiders everywhere and crickets that were so big they looked like small animals.

I'm playing catch up.  We spent this week in Destin, FL in a fabulous beach house with some best friends from dental school who paid for our whole trip.  It was heavenly!  Ran 6 miles with Justin along the beach ave pace 8:00.  Life couldn't get any better than that.
