This week has been a very busy one! I spent a lot of time outside, taking pictures of road damage. Fun! Those don't get included here though!
It's been a HOT week!

Notice the "feels like" |
Last Sunday, I went to watch the World Cup with friends. Man, those girls are awesome! They came sooooo close! SO CLOSE! On the way there I took some pictures of barns. MO has plenty of them! You can see other barn and random photos I've taken each week
here.

On Monday, I was featured at
Yep They Are All Mine! I also ran 6 miles, which was NOT fun! See the face below? That means "this run was okay". Also note, I ran it VERY slowly. It was HOT! Did I mention that yet?
On Tuesday, I was
nominated on FTLOB for "Best in Travel". You still have 6 days left to cast your vote! (

A coworker's daughter brought Jamaican Meat Patties from South Florida (I mentioned them in
this post). Have you ever had a meat patty? They are delicious! Here is a pic for your viewing pleasure.

On Friday, I ran my fastest mile in a while! Actually I ran 4 miles, but the first one was especially fast for me, so I am only showing you that one. (The others were all about 9:10) And it was about 90 degrees outside. Maybe I am getting used to the heat? Shaaah. And monkeys might fly out of my...(if you have seen Wayne's World, you know the rest of this sentence.)

Hurrah! Getting faster! |
I found my NEW favorite thing at the grocery store (number 1 on
this list)! It's pretty awesome. (You guys have probably already known about it for years.)
I've also spent some time writing over at
WRTR: Go and
check it out! This week I wrote about "dangerous" things, Bolivian style.
Thanks for reading! And don't forget:

ReplyDeleteLove the barns and loved Waynes World... after all these years I am still quoting that movie :)
ReplyDeleteThe heat has finally broke here! Woo hoo! It was a blissful 63 degrees this morning when i walked to church. So I treated myself to a coffee at a cafe with a patio becuase I figure I should soak up these gorgeous temps! Hopefully the worst is behind us. I do not care for those crazy hot/humid temps!
ReplyDeleteOh and congrats on your run! That is speedy!! I did 8 yesterday am and my pace was 9:50, which I am content with!
ReplyDeleteI liked the photographs of the barns, especially the one with the matching truck.
ReplyDeleteHello from FTLOB!!! What an action packed post I came into! Haha, anyway I looooooove old barns as well. I'm sure it has a lot to do with being from wisconsin...
ReplyDeleteBut congrats on the many hot'n'sweaty miles! I wish I had that kind of endurance!
Coming over from FTLOB Comment Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThe heat wave is miserable where I live as well. :(
Your pictures, in fact, remind me of my neck of the woods what with the barns and all.
Hey just found your blog and love your 'who am I?' section. I think this maybe my kind of place...
ReplyDeleteSO glad I found your blog (via Comment Love). I'm also obsessed with travel and love to run. You've been to a zillion awesome places - I'm excited to read about some of them! I just got back from a year teaching English in Spain and traveled a bit.

ReplyDeleteWow! That is some crazy heat - I'm jealous! Congrats on your run, it puts my little trips around the block to shame!
ReplyDeleteBoo to all this heat! But seriously, that is a speedy mile!
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would actually like barn photos, but yours are great! And good advice at the end :)
