Day 3,735 —Another Nice Day—

Once again, trying to make my run useful, I carried bottles to a recycling bin about a half mile from my house. I have considered picking up trash in the area as I run for the same reason. Sometimes it is easier to be motivated when you see something physically that you’re doing as you run.

         I ran with my 10-pound vest for the first 2.5 miles, and it has been getting easier. Today is the 3rd day and I have started to find it easier. I have been thinking of different ways to fight the heat and I bought a neck fan, and I am reading about these more expensive AC ones. I don’t think I have ever seen someone running an ultra with a neck fan, but why not? Are there rules against it? I use stuff like that to stay warm in the winter, why not the other way around?

I don’t know if 7/11 still gives out free Slurpees today, but they should. I still have never gotten the Slurpee I wanted on Sunday, but I did get a snow cone yesterday with my daughter. I finally bought her one with sugar. She was tired of the sugar-free flavors, and I couldn’t blame her.
