Summer is starting

Oh, the heat and humidity of the south…Almost time for “inside season” to start.

My coworker and I managed to get out a couple times during lunch this week for a few miles.  Now that he’s learning the names of the routes, he’s having a bit of fun mapping everything out.  It will be nice once he finishes, so we can pick and choose, and not run the same thing all the time. 

Unfortunately, seeing them mapped maps me realize that some of the names I came up with don’t really make sense.  There’s one route, “q”, that got its name because it’s shaped like a lowercase q.  Well, at least that’s what I thought…turns out it looks more like a kite, with a big triangle and a tail.  Suppose it doesn’t matter.

We’ve tried a couple differently things lately.  One new route is a couple miles just going up and down all the parking structures in the complex.  As far as hills, I wouldn’t have thought it was tougher than what’s on the street, but it sure wore me out.  Maybe we’ll try that again this week, now that I’m getting back in shape.

Last weekend, we went shopping, and that leads to this weeks lesson from the little man:   Infant shoes are much cuter than adult shoes.
