Happy 4th of July Eve!

To say this has been one of the hottest summers since I have lived in GA is an understatatement...This past weekend we reached temperatures in the triple digits..it was truly miserable and uncomfortable, just being out in the sun literally fried you..I was brave enough to survie the blazing heat playing a tennis match which went into 3 sets..the court surface reached 110 degrees and I experienced the joys of heat exhaustion for the first time..Body, shaking, nauseua, couldn't stay hydrated and sweating unstop..my body had to recover after the match to stay cool, hydrated and get my energy back..need less to say I stayed in most of the day till that evening. However, on Sunday I went to the lake and stayed in the water for a good bit, but totally am feelign soo much better...Though this heat can definitely take the light out of you, I somehow can manage to be physically active in it...Running during my lunch has been a great motivator and I'm starting to like the joys of running, I have also ran around my neighborhood. I'm currently training to do the Mangnolia Run 5K on August 25th so I have to been in tip top shape to be able to run 3.2 miles..If I survive this run and make it through most of the race, than my adrenaline rush will make me want to participate in more runs....It's the day before the 4th of July and we will be enjoying it with some great friends than back to work the rest of the week..Hope everyone has a safe 4th!
