Not So Cool Summer Morning Series Completion: AKA My Face Didn't Actually Melt Off

Saturday was the final race in the Sommer Sports Summer Series. This year the series seemed a little harder, maybe because it was a whole lot hotter this summer. That is not an exaggeration by the way. July was insanely hot and August was not much better. Plus the last half mile of the race is in direct sunlight. It's almost like running directly into the sun. 

Again, not an exaggeration.

Thankfully, I had my MRTT ladies to push me through the series. 

My standings for the series was:

Race 1: 35:57

Race 2: 37:23 (Remember when every day in July was 106+, yeah that was fun)

Race 3: 37:19

Race 4: 35:33

The bonus of suffering through the heat and humidity? A fifth medal!

Thank you to all my MRTT ladies for pushing me through the series! I'm so looking forward to all of the upcoming races we have together!

Cool Summer Running Series - Race 1: Welcome to the Jungle

Scott and I love the summer series from Sommer Sports and have made it our annual tradition. The first race was on Saturday and it was jungle themed.

Look how cute we were before the race (you know, before we got all sweaty). They changed the course this year and it's nice and flat, no more crazy hills. 

My sock slipped around the half mile mark which meant that I went the remainder of the race with the back of my shoe rubbing my ankle. It sucked, but I still came in around my normal time, so that part didn't suck.

Scott came in around his normal time (42 minutesish) and finished strong. 

After the race, we kept up our normal KeKe's post race breakfast tradition. I love these mornings together and cannot wait to finish the other three races.
