5.46 miles~~No AC!

Well, we have been without an AC unit since Friday.  Our company that we have used for years came for our checkup.  Our outside unit had been making a weird noise for a little while--turns out that the motor had burned out.  And he found mildew in the inside unit along with rusting and leaks.  So it was bad.  We won't have a new one until Monday.  He did install a new UV purifying unit that will keep a light lit to reduce the mildew and will purify the air before it goes through the ducts.  That will hopefully cut down on the amount of allergens that go through our system. We will also have the ducts cleaned and sealed the next day.  So by Wednesday, we should be cool and breathing easy!  A huge cost, but hopefully it will help my health.

We were supposed to go to a local run this morning, but with no AC and my husband dealing with a minor injury, we felt it was best not to go.  Instead, I got up and had a protein bar, sipped some coffee, and suited up.  It was cloudy but humid.  I did remember to put sunscreen on!  My arms are once again showing the sun spots that I get when I have too much sun. My dermatologist warned me about this and fussed at me.  I am bad about remembering the sunscreen before I head out.  I remembered today!  We are using Elta sunscreen that has physical sun blockers instead of chemical.  This means that it has zinc oxide or titanium oxide that physically blocks the sun from reaching the skin.  I also ordered some Coolibar sun sleeves since that will also help. I'm looking at various hats that would protect the back of my neck and ears a little better.  Chris needs to work on protecting his neck, a typical problem with men and short hair.

Well, like I said, I headed out and had to watch the time. We had planned on going to the movies for a double feature to keep out of the house in the hottest part of the day.  I didn't get to go as far as I would have liked, but I turned around at about 2.8 miles and headed home.  I felt great running, no aches, and no breathing issues.  Yea!
