By the time we got to Ben’s parents and caught up with everyone it was noon. I wanted to run, but know the Florida heat can kill be brutal. I did 3 slow miles. They were mostly slow because I still have a knot in my left hammy. It hurts.
I stretched it out while eating watermelon and a chocolate chip cookie. Note the birthmark on my left shin in case you have to identify my body.
After the run I took a picture in front of trash can, because I like to class it up every now and then. I smelled worse than that trash though, trust this.
After some quality time stretching I made lunch. Ben’s mom always has the most amazing salads on hand. Today she had chicken salad and potato salad (both drenched in mayo and containing nuts and dried fruit). I try to lessen the caloric damage by using them as toppings and dressing to my salad
While out running errands I begged in the most embarrassing way asked if we could stop at Dunkin Donuts.

I live in Central Florida and can only fit my runs in after work. This time of year makes me wish I still lived in CT.

Hope your hammy feels better soon. I hate when I get knots in my hammy. That is when the roller becomes my BF. 🙂

I’m probably talking DD up too much at this point 🙂 But, I like it.

The heat here has been insane! I slowly get used to through the summer but I’m never very fast when running in the 90’s.
Katie @ Healthy Heddleston says
I just got a coupon in the mail at DD for a new drink that is like an iced chocolate.. I really want to try it!
Tori (Fresh Fruition) says
The heat here is crazy, too! I’ve been doing all my yoga / exercising indoors lately.
I love DD coffee! So so so good, especially iced on a hot day like today 😀
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Gahhh I fell you on the heat!! I’m in mid AL and it’s 104* and humid..so I can only imagine how FL must feel! Major props to you for actually runningin that heat. I’m way too chicken to force myself out past 7 AM
