What a lovely Memorial Day it is in my neck of the woods, albeit somewhat toasty for running. A sunny 77 degrees had me sweating like a piglet and hoping for a speedy hot weather acclimation this year. Doesn’t feel as difficult as last year, though.

It’s funny looking back at my logs from last year, my first summer running. The first time I felt really hot, like miserably hot, was on a 75 degree day. The log entry goes, “Yay! Second 7 miler. Averaged 10:56 pace. Not bad. Hot as fuck though and I ordered an Amphipod belt as soon as I got home.”

It’s about a year later and my pace today was 8:50, so what took 1:17 to complete now takes 1:01. And I thought I was just hydrating better, lol.

Healthwise, I’ve been running two days on, one day off in an effort to kick my ankle crap out the door and it’s working fabulously. I haven’t used the ankle brace for the last 3 runs and the last two were 7 milers. 7 or 8 tomorrow, then Wednesday we’re off to Las Vegas and the Wild West for twelve days…mileage to be determined.

I’m taking a laptop, so I hope to be blogging while gone, though I’m sad because I got my hair cut and it looks ugly/stupid so I already hate all my vacation photos, even though I haven’t left yet. Oh well.

Speaking of bad hair, my new favorite song in the whole world is “I’m Not Over” by Carolina Liar. Here’s the video so you can hear the whole thing. Greasy two-toned hair isn’t really my thing, but he looks rather yummy in ponytailed closeup.

No matter, the song has such great hooks that I can’t stop playing it…4 times in a row on my run today surpassing last week’s favorite song in the whole world, “Sewn” by The Feeling. Really bad contrived video for that one, but the song is gorgeous.
