It was so hot on Saturday that:
- the birds had to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
- farmers fed their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
- the cows were giving evaporated milk.
- the trees were whistling for the dogs.
- my greatest jogging fear was, "What if I get pass out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
- I realized that asphalt has a liquid state.
- I saw a dog chasing a rabbit...and both were walking.
- I broke into a sweat the instant I stepped outside at 5:30 a.m.
Sorry I wasn't able to join the group Saturday. Will be out of town this Saturday, too. I will be with the group for the half marathon, though, and am looking forward to seeing everyone.
If it's this hot in June, yikes, I hate to think what August will bring!
Thanks to all the contributors to the "ode". I've reposted the latest version on the message board and will leave it up a few more days before "finalizing" it. It's truly becoming a masterpiece!
Hope everyone has a good training week.

Miss ya girl!! I bout died on Saturday!!
thanks for the note. it WAS miserable saturday! but i don't blame you for skipping the 45min drive. amy's been doing the same thing - leaving from home.
i saw my ortho doctor today, and he said i might be doing too much strength staining (imagine that!), so to back off some. darn!!! and he said my knee pain might eventually just go away. if not, i'll go back and get injected.
see ya in a few weeks!
You are so cute! We'll miss you again!
Funny blog! I guess we'll see ya next Saturday!
To respond to your comments on my blog. Running sucks!! I can't seem to get up until around 8am when Tamara leaves. I get out there and the most I can do has been two miles or around thirty minutes. The heat just gets to be too much, plus I'm tired from not getting home until late and then getting to sleep even later. I have lost 9 pounds since starting that Wednesday after Memorial day. Came off real quick and then has leveled off this week. We shall see!!
