It started as a day off.

Thursday, July 05, 2012

I always take vacation on July 5th. Our neighborhood becomes a DMZ on July 4th and my dogs keep me up all night long. So we got up a bit late today. I planned a real "day off". We went to see Spiderman with the boy child - emoticon! Then off to the mall. I ended up walking the entire mall while hubby and boy were looking around at FYE. Then I bought "The Spark" at the bookstore. Guess I know what my "down time" is going to be for a while! emoticon

I didn't like what my pedometer was reading when I got home tonight so I headed out with Tazzy. She really did well considering the heat. We did almost 4.5 miles. Our time was horrible, but even I was have some trouble. It was like a sauna out there tonight. So I got my steps, fell short on the miles but I don't have a bike right now. Hubby has promised to fix my tire tomorrow. I need my 30 min ride to make my mileage.

Sweet Dreams all!

    Don't push yourself too much in this heat. I know you like it, but the high humidity is really taxing on our bodies. I had a very fit friend fall prey to heat stroke a few years ago, so I tend to be a lot more cautious these days, especially when the national weather service issues excessive heat warnings for my area.

    It can be heck with the heat and fireworks all the time. Take care and get your miles in when you can get back with your dear bike.

    This was our babies first 4th. Yadi kind of went crazy jumping around and running-almost like he wanted out to be with the neighborhood. Willow wouldn't go outside, and was pretty freaked out. With it being so dry, I was shocked by all the fireworks!

Spark is great reading, hope you like it!

You do so well with your walking and exercise :)
