Boy, was it hot today.  And humid.  The kind of combination heat that makes Phoenix natives admit, “Wow, Texas is hotter than Arizona.”  Just a quick update today: We ran a bit over 15 miles up to Mt. Bonnell, then over the top and down the other side, to the old bar at the bottom, then turned around and went back.  This is, I believe, the first time that I’ve done even a Bonnell run without taking time out to walk even a little bit.  Not there, not on the backside, and not on the evil 35th St. hill.  So that’s a Good Thing  Even better was the news was that Carrie and her husband-to-be are now officially engaged!  So here’s to the two of them.  I didn’t feel up to a fast finish today, but I didn’t slow down either, so that’s something.  Also, I tried a different type of Gu, and had no stomach issues — another good thing.  Finish it up with early morning post-run breakfast tacos at Mi Madre’s, and life is pretty good.
