So, it's been a while since I've written on this blog . . . school is out, summer is here, and in my running world, I've logged about 52 miles in the last 30 days.  According to Nike+, that is about twice the distance that other women my age have logged.  Who knew? 

Although I love the freedom of summer and the abundance of time I have to go running, the one thing I LOATHE is the heat.  On these hot and humid days when it seems all but impossible to run a mere three miles, I question my ability to ever run 26.2.  The Hampton Beach Marathon is still on my radar, but I'm not feeling very optimistic about being in shape enough to run it.  It feels like I was in better shape last year at this time than I am now.  I suppose the best I can do is keep at it and add the miles a little at a time until I get up there into the high-teens.

Wish me luck!
