Heat Week

The forecast predicts some hot hot temps for this week. In preparation for this I ran earlier than normal.
Headed out the door at 9:30am with temps at 79 degrees. Not too shabby. Overcast, a slight breeze, very nice. However, the clouds broke, the sun came out, and the run back was with the wind. by 11:30 it was already 89 degrees. It's supposed to get up to 96 today, 98 tomorrow, and 94 for Tuesday. Three good reasons to stay indoors during the afternoon and get up earlier in the morning.

Yesterday a small group of us headed out to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Very beautiful. We went from 100' elevation to just shy of 3000' (that was the drive of course). Lots of rocks to walk over and beautiful scenery.

Yes, be careful in the heat. I've noticed the heat starting to get to me now, late in summer. Kind of like the way the cold gets to me late in winter.

Beautiful scenery!
