The Temp is Too Damn High!

I've been eagerly counting down the days until I return to Texas for my grandma's 85th birthday, and to see Stu and Mars (its been more than a month now). However, the extended heat wave has killed a bit of my enthusiasm to head back to south. Really, 34 days above 100 degrees with at least 50 percent humidity, I don't remember buying a plane ticket to Hell! The added humidity makes the 70+ days of 100 degree and above summer temps in Las Vegas look like a cold season.

Poor Mars trying to stay cool in 

the brutal summer heat.

Enough ranting, I've been spoiled by the cool Colorado summer weather and am whining about the three days I'll spend in Texas. Not only will I be cranky from the excruciating heat, but the lack of running is going to add to my unpleasant attitude beginning when I land at DFW. For once I'm making a wise training decision, I will be leaving my running shoes in the Mile High City and taking a brief hiatus, because the temperature is just too damn high!

Looking forward to seeing the fam, fiance and the pup, but will be anxiously awaiting my return trip to 60 degree mornings and cool breezes with the afternoon rain storms.

Stay tuned for pictures from Hell!
