Notes:  Today felt good.  It was so sunny out and 88 degrees.  But there was a nice breeze from off the Mississippi River.  I decided to get my run out of the way.  My body kind of ached after last night.  But nothing to stop me from running.  I stretched,  grabbed a bottle of water, and took off.  I got through campus pretty well.  I stopped at the Bead Tree. I'll take a picture of it later.  There is one tree on campus that everyone throws beads on.  There are more strings of beads than leaves on this tree.  I got to Audubon and that's when the heat struck.  I was pacing with couple that was in front of me.  They were slightly faster, but I was not trying to beat them.  Most of Audubon is covered by mighty Oak trees, but the parts that aren't were sweltering.  Instead of looping around the park twice like yesterday I only did once.  There was still a good amount of walking.  But my legs weren't fatigued, it was just HOT.  I ran out of water too fast.  So I made my way back through campus with a moderate to slow jog.  All in all a good run.  Better than yesterday.
