"Upwards to the vanguard..."

Walked today even though it was still hellaciously hot.

Had company today -- my dear friend Tara. We made it 1x around Red Bud, but the heat was just too much. We went at around 2pm - I was going to wait, but -same as last night- it wasn't slated to get cooler again until the wee hours.

We are gonna get on top of this thing and do it right -- she lives right by the middle school she and I went to as youths. Tomorrow we're gonna hit that for our laps... if I wake up in a timely enough fashion to call and rouse her. I've stayed up a hair late tonight... might end up being 11ish before my little eyeballs open and I get moving. It'll probably be 112 then for all I know.

Will mix things up with her Tae Bo tapes and perhaps whatever else we can dial up on Netflix for workout purposes when it's just too hot to go safely go outside.

Next weekend, if things go well, Tara will be attacking her first 5K walk -- something I found in Hamlin called "Runnin' the Buff."

I've already got my registration all done for the Susan G Komen Breast cancer thing in Dallas in Oct. If I don't break her of ever wanting to do this again, maybe she'll want to do that too.
