@Shahrazad1973 - I think I'm gonna start calling it slogging, a sloggish jog.  It's a bump up from power scooting, power shuffling and power hobbling. 

It's a wet heat.  I decided I hate both wet and dry heats.  Dry heat gave me nose bleeds.  Wet heat makes everything flora and fauna stick to me.  Ever have bugs stuck in your arm pit?

So where's your vacation gonna be?

@Lenore_Happenstance - yeah, pretty much all heat can kiss my ass at this point. Dry or wet, it's all icky hot.

Not sure exactly where to go yet - still exploring, but gotta decide soon if i'm to get affordable tickets for anything!

@Shahrazad1973 - If you can decide TONIGHT . . . Southwest is having a 48 hour sale that started yesterday for flights as far off as the middle of November.  I just booked my flight for my marathon.  The prices are anywhere from $30 - $90 depending on how far you go.  The last few weeks, the prices were over $300 for a round trip ticket for me to go to Texas so I saved a bunch.

@run_karatekid - It's a good cause.  I e-mailed your link to a friend who said she'll donate tonight.  We had a weight loss contest last month with the wager being a donation to the winner's charity of choice.
