Is it fall yet?
It’s been so hot here the past few days!
Despite the heat outside, apparently I need to start wearing sweaters everyday to work, because I actually had to break out my heater at the office yesterday!

And sip on some extra hot tea.

My boss likes his office chilly, so the rest of us have to deal with arctic temperatures. Ugh.
After thawing out work, Mark and I decided to eat at Mellow Mushroom for dinner.

I haven’t ordered a “build your own salad” there in a while, so I decided that’s what I needed to do.
![]()
Spinach, avocado, mushrooms, olives, artichokes, and lots and lots of tempeh!

So delicious. I love the saltiness the tempeh adds.
This morning, I went on the hottest, most difficult run in a while! Starting a run at 8 A.M. is too late for me! It was Sweat Fest ’11 up in here when I finished. I’m smiling because it’s over.

The very first thing I do when I’m done running (other than documenting my sweatiness) is switch into sandals.

That way, I can take Jack-Dog on a walk while cooling down. It feels so good to let my feet breathe! I didn’t even change clothes on our walk (gross, I know), just shoes.

What is the first thing you do when you finish a run?
P.S. Less than two days until the Peachtree Road Race!!! Eeekkk!


It’s hot here too! Texas heat is no joke!
I often will take Murphy for a walk right when I get home too. I figure I’m probably going to sweat while walking him, so there’s no reason to mess up a set of clean clothes.
I always have to google to figure out how hot it is (my mind doesn’t work in F so I have to convert to C). It’s been hot like that here too! 35C today and smog warning (yuck, had to cancel long run till tomorrow, running in smog is just not good for me). I like the dog walking tidbit, will try that tomorrow, I know sky will be happy.
My office is freezing too, I hate it! I have a work sweater just for that purpose. Also, love Mellow Mushroom, it never lets me down.
