I ran. I answered. I drank. I am dog-sitting.

Last week, I was Sleeping Beauty.
This week, I am Princess Procrastination
After doing a bunch of I-don't-remember-what-I-dids,
I finally got my bottom to the Y and completed Week 2, Run 2 of my half marathon training. 
The run went well. 
30 minutes, 2.76 miles.

*****************

A number of you asked about my post on Icy Hot and mosquitos.
Did it work?
I think it did.
I think the menthol-ly smell kept some mosquitoes away.
But then again, remember, I was merely dotting my skin with Icy Hot and it was over 100-degree outside.
I had to re-dot myself pretty quickly because:
(a) I rubbed the Icy Hot dots with my clothes
(b) my perspiration washed it away

********************

Triple digit temperatures are here to stay for a while.
I cut up a huge watermelon and juiced part of it. 
 
I added some salt into the pitcher.
That and the ice - it was absolutely refreshing!

************************
Lastly, I have been "old man sitting" my boyfriend's aunt's black Lab - Limit.
He is on the left and Paddy is on the right.
He is at least 11 years old.
Paddy gives him LOTS of sugars. 
I don't know what to think.
