Hot outside

It is very hot outside today. I went for a run with a friend -- it actually was more of a brisk walk than a run. We would start to run, but after a few minutes we needed to walk. We alternated this way, with more walking than running.

We saw a little bit of wildlife, but most of the creatures were staying out of the heat. We saw a rabbit (there are always rabbits hopping about), a cardinal, a red-winged blackbird, and a heron of some sort.

I needed an easy day, so it was a good day for this. My hip was hurting quite a bit last night, and I don't need problems with that again. Oh, the pain (literally) of running when we are a little bit past our prime! Even with the heat, though, we managed 5.25 miles -- not bad.
