Slept in this morning...well I got up at 6:20 but then went back to bed and slept till about 8:30...amazing...and wonderful.
Therefore this meant that I wouldnt be able to run till close to 6:30 this evening due to heat. So I just made breakfast, laid around and then went by the pool for a bit of sun. Had to run errands, buy momma a birthday present, so forth and so on. Shortly after getting home the skies opened up and down came a whole lotta rain! As soon as it let up I was out the door! It was still sprinkling but I didnt care at all! I always forget how sauna like it is after a rain :o( ... but today I welcomed the way I was feeling even if I was pouring sweat from every pore in my body. I love that I can recover from a hard 18 miler...sometimes that amazes me as I remember that use to not be the case...this is my first marathon training where I have been running the Sunday after long runs. I kinda like that ...
Just did my short 3 mile route and now can call it a day!
Quads were a bit tender all day but a couple of ibuprofen a bit earlier and that subsided. Once I took off running nothing hurt and I was able to do the 3 miles at GMP. I wonder does that make up for not being able to do them during my long run? Probably not, but oh well :)

The joys of running in Texas in summer...I remember summer of 1999 when the low temperature on some days was 92. That was crazy. Good luck!
