Remember how I posted a week or two ago about the hurricane that might be coming and how excited I was?? Well, we have another storm slated to hit little ole Florida, but this time, I'm not so excited...
Please be kind to us Irene. She's supposed to be a major storm by the time she comes along to Florida. I just wanted a category 1, not 3-5, so please downgrade soon. K thanks! We're in full prep mode here at work just in case. We're banding material together, stacking metal studs on the ground so the wind can't get under as easily...this could be ugly...hopefully not. I'll be ok with only getting Friday off if you are a little hurricane!
On a hotter note, I did speed work at lunch today. The office is set back .13 miles off the road, so one lap is about .26 miles. I decided to do 400's today for speed work outside instead of on a treadmill. Stupid choice. My goal was to do 12, but it was 90*F++++ and so very humid and sunny, so I only made 8 of them.
My goal pace was 1:51. I did pretty well hitting it, but around the 7th one I finished the lap in 1:57 and was dying. It was SO hot. I told myself that if I beat my fastest lap of 1:49, I could quit. I finished that puppy at 1:43...and then wanted to puke. But, fortunately I did not...
That was probably my shortest run in a long time, but it was so incredibly hot. I'll make up for it later this week!
I have a long run planned for tomorrow morning if my legs are feeling ok, if not, it's onto Wednesday for the long run and some nice muscle building tomorrow instead. But let's keep our fingers crossed for that long run.
Thanks for the support! Even Joey knows Reason #462 why it's best for me to go to the gym in the morning...
I'd much rather be on the couch in the afternoons watching re-runs of Friends than trying to convince myself to hit the gym after a long day of work.
Does anyone else miss Friends as much as I do?!

BAHAHAHA. I love the FRIENDS commentary!!! And I am oddly excited for Irene. (Only hoping for some wind and rain, nothing too damaging) But it's our first real Hurricane! Been awhile. Weird I know.
I agree with Michelle... I LOVE the friends commentary. I am impressed with the 90 degree speed workout! You flew in that scorching hot weather.
Thanks for the blog love!
