Blah Heat Blah Blah Blah Running Blah Blah Soccer Blah Blah

I won't apologize for not writing in my blog for a while...just haven't done it. Various reasons but nothing worth mentioning. It's hard to believe it's mid July. I say this every summer, and it's very cliche. School will start soon. I actually started working on one of my syllabi today. I am not teaching any new classes in the fall, but am making some changes to classes. I haven't taught any new classes in about a year now.

I have increased my running mileage just as the temperature has increased. I've run a few times when the heat index was over 100. If you are wondering why I didn't wait until the evening to run, I did! I haven't been running fast (with the exception of a sad excuse for speedwork I did last week), but I've been running. Good enough for me. Bill and I did an early morning run today. The heat and humidity were ridiculous when we started out at 6:30. I felt like we deserved more of a reward for getting up early to run.

Today the US women's soccer team has a big World Cup game. I admit that I don't care much for soccer. I wish I liked it more. I just can't get into it. However, I'll at least tune in for the 2nd half. I hope the US wins, and I hope it's an exciting game.

In other news, I've sort of discovered Twitter. I'm not sure what I think of it yet. Having only 140 characters in which to type my message is challenging for me but in a fun way. And, interestingly, Yoko Ono is following me on Twitter.
