Notes:
- I spent an hour doing yard work before my Tuesday afternoon run. Note to self – not such a good idea – I was too worn out on my run and had to call it quits earlier than planned.
- I wanted to get a long run in before I went to Alaska so I took Wednesday off to get it in (and prepare for out trip, etc.). I was happy to get it in, but it was the last run of a seven day run cycle and I was TIRED! Which is to be expected.
- Running in Alaska has been great. I am LOVING the cooler weather! And I loved that one of my cousins ran with me on Sunday! Now I’m in a different part of Alaska and have two more opportunities to run. And lucky me – the house we’re staying at is 400 feet above the main road in town!

I am envious of the cooler weather you have in Alaska! It’s been like a steambath sauna back at home. Definitely enjoy all the gorgeous scenery and comfy temps to the max! Incidentally – I once learned that some records for largest produce originates in Alaska since they get so much sun during the summertime! Pretty cool, eh?
I am happy to be missing a few days of the nasty humidity back home! BLAH!
That IS cool! I bet people wouldn’t think that if you asked them to guess the state!
