My energy level has been very low this week. The heat is really bothering me. I have been drinking a lot of water, taking naps ;-) and not going outside to much during the peak times of the day but, still I am feeling so tired.
Currently, I am finishing up my first week off. Next week will be free for me as well and then I start working for the rest of the summer again. I am going to be a nanny for three little girls 8 hours a day until school starts. I am looking forward to it.
A few days ago I took Quasi (puppy) around Ft. Lowell park running around the perimeter, playing in the water fountain, and walking through a field of birds. It was a blast to get out and since I decided to go after 6 pm in the evening that made a big difference with the heat. I am finding out I run/exercise better in the evenings. I have never been a morning person and getting up has been so painful for me! Sob...sob....must push harder!
I am heading to the Running Shop in a bit to buy the hat I have had my eye on. At that point I might look for other goodies. The Summit Hut also has a lot of hydration gels. I went in to check out the backpacking items and noticed the great selection.
I have jogged the river walk before and really like the environment and the people. Lots of people with dogs and kids. However, the hard core bikers are intense. We need to really keep our eyes open for the speeding bikers on the path! I have almost been run over.
When I bought my shoes (love them!) the guy at the Running Shop suggested we jog/walk Sabino Canyon!!! He said if we can do that we can do anything! Holy COW! I've only hiked it, walked it and biked half of it and that last hill is a killer! Let me know what you all think about that one!
See everyone tomorrow at 7 am!! I am leaving the pup at home considering she almost killed three people last week, a rollerblader, a biker and another lady jogging with a dog. OMG!

"I don't think jogging is healthy, especially morning jogging. If morning joggers knew how tempting they looked to morning motorists, they would stay home and do sit-ups." ~Rita Rudner
