What a great workout KP! I love that you did all of your miles in twos! Way to get a ton done in the early day!

oh really??

I have a HUGE yard (remember, I live in the country). I think it is at least 2 miles if not more just because of effort of having to go up and down hills. It was a good workout, that is why I did it. Oh, and maybe because I wanted to work on my tan.... nope... that had nothing to do with it.

We're normally VERY humid. This weekend actually wasn't too bad, surprisingly. We'll have a few weeks of "spring" weather before the blazing heat kicks in and stays for months. I got a nice little tan/burn yesterday on my shoulders from being outside. It was the perfect weather to be outside; hence all of my extra-curricular activities that I don't normally do (mowing yard and washing car). It was too nice to pass up.

I took a nap outside today after church... perfect weather to be out on the back porch!

That's an interesting way to get 8 miles in. I'm sure you had quite a workout by the time you were done. Be careful about the sun. I'm all for absorbing vitamin D, but sunburns are dangerous.

Nice job KP! Busy day but you got a lot accomplished!
