Took Jacob to a kid's race in the morning. He ran 1/4 mile with the under-7 age group. It was a little tough for him, and his stomach started to hurt, but he kept going and finished in the middle of the pack. There were lots of kids activities, and he had fun, which is the important part.
It turned out to be a hot day - worked in the yard most of the morning after getting home from Jacob's race.
3 pm run - got 1/2 way through the 7.27 mile loop when a fast-moving, thunderstorm with cloud to ground lightning came through. It wasn't supposed to rain today, so I didn't check the weather map before leaving, and it was only somewhat cloudy when I left. So, I ducked into Walmart and waited it out there. It lasted a good 20 to 30 minutes, and I was finally able to resume the run. The storm really didn't cool the temperature down much, just made it steamier. |
