It really needs to cool off

I'm not a fan of these 110 degree days in August. Really. It can go away now. I have not worked out consistently since the race in May. Granted, I did want to take the rest of May off. So, I have June through August. It's just too hot! I am in no way motivated to go to the gym when I get in my car after work and my car is scorching hot. Before work is not an option, my gym is not open before work starts, and if I allow myself to come home first, there is no way I'm going to leave to go back to the gym. *Sigh*

Because of that, I have put back on 10 of the 15 pounds I lost while training for my triathlon.

I leave Thursday after work for Orange County to participate in the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend. My sister and I are both running the 5K race on Saturday morning through Disneyland park. Sounds all fine and dandy, right? Sure, the course takes you through both Disneyland and California Adventure (the finish line is on Main Street before the park opens). However, it is still 3.1 miles. I couldn't run 3.1 miles while I was training, much less now after not going to the gym since May. I was thinking no matter what I'd be ok as the course started at one end of Downtown Disney and took you to the parks. Now, it starts at the parking garage and you run the tram route before going into the parks. That's not nearly as fun nor as distracting as the Downtown Disney portion. I'm really going to feel like I'm running! Hopefully my sister will stay with me, camera in hand, and we'll take pictures along the way wearing our Mickey Ears!
