these are the days

never before and never since, i promise, will the whole world be warm as this... and as you feel it, you'll know its true that you are blessed and lucky... Those lyrics come from an oldish 10,000 Maniacs song that seems particularly appropriate, weather-wise and personally. I'm a part of the miracles I see in every hour.

Today's temp. reached at least 103 - a string of several 100+ days in a row - and JH and I ran 9 miles. Along one of my favorite routes - along McClendon and Oakdale over to Ponce / East Lake and then back again. Definitely not my fastest run this summer, but I sure did enjoy it. That course is a challenge - hills the whole way, and long hills at that, but it is definitely one of my faves. Very friendly people, every time we run it, beautiful houses, etc. Its a keeper. :)
