Dramatic weather change. It is now in the high 80's and humid. Guess I will get a little heat training before IM Texas after all. My lungs are not doing well with this dramatic change. Cough and wheezing the entire bike and run workout. I hope my lungs can adjust quickly. My parents live in a subdivision. It is only 8 miles form my former house. It is taking a little adjusting riding/running in a neighborhood. I can ride 8 miles and am back on the country roads where I lived so it is not a big deal, but it is just different.

trainer. more severe thunderstorms this afternoon & evening
Had a flat tire last night after leaving the house closing. I was able to make it to my parent's house and my dad put on my spare tire (full size tire sin it is a SUV). Went to the tire place today. There was a nail in the tire almost on the sidewall. The guy said there is a 50% chance a patch won't hold since it is so close to the sidewall. I had them patch it anyway. A new tire for my SUV is $260. With almost 200,000 miles on the car, I am going to need to replace it soon. I really don't want to buy a new tire. Not to mention that due to wear it is often necessary to buy two tires. I really hope the patch holds and I don't get another flat!

Lunken airport path
Flying Pig marathon was today. I had lots of friends running the half or full marathon. I went to the Lunken airport bike/run path for my run after watching and cheering at the race. It was good heat training to start my run later in the day.
My grandma (84 years old) had back surgery last week. She is recovering well and is hoping to be moved to a step-down rehap unit on Tuesday. I stopped by the hospital this afternoon for a visit. She is getting stronger every day. My grandparents are amazing people.
