I hurt in a nonproductive way today. Today was my moment of truth in the heat, and I was found wanting. However, I have no excuses as I really avoid running in the heat every chance I get - unless it gets in the way of trying to catch back up on sleep, which I did last night.

Today started out optimistically, and turned into a grit festival at the end. Bad enough where I walked about 20m of the last uphill, it was so unpleasant.

I still needed to get at it, so I did. The two longer mile splits include stops to accomodate oncoming traffic where I didn't stop the clock.

The last iThink is curiously appropriate for today. Yesterday marked some unnamed agency at the Pentagon sending out notes on "4th of July is all about diversity." That is such fucking bullshit. How the hell can a day of division from a home country, to include armed insurrection, be about diversity? Seriously?!  For that, I have the last iThink.  Bite my nuts.
