Back to the blog... Check out all my peeps in the top photo! Love my Columbus Westside Running Club! We hosted the Hilltop USA 5k for the second time. I was the emcee again this year and the community that comes out for this is amazing. So many people and business out there supporting this event. We had 500 people sign up for the 5k and about 30 of those did the ruck run.
I did the ruck run this year with a 35 pound backpack.
Came in second place and it was VERY hot. My heart rate was climbing to 190 to 195 and I had to take some walking breaks due to the heat and humidity. It is amazing how much energy it drains trying to run with that extra weight. Thankfully the event went off smoothly and only one runner had to get helped off the course from the heat, but no ambulance needed thankfully. Great event and I highly recommend you checking it out next year.
So I obviously had to stay in town for that, but Dawn left in the middle of last week to take the kids back to see Dawn's mom for her birthday, on the 4th. They had a lot of fun in Cleveland checking out all the festivities leading up to the MLB All-Star game. They came back Sunday.
Before the came back, I went running at Clear Creek Metro Park with a friend, Mike. I love that Metro Park and it has some fantastic hills for climbing.
I took the kids to the zoo on Monday after work. Evan doesn't like hats, but he has fair skin so I was trying my best to keep him out of the sun.
Speaking of sun... Summer got new sunglasses at the eye doctor yesterday. Most of us had a great visit... Love these two ladies!
As for me... My contacts have been bouncing around and I have an issue with my eye lids and I have to wear glasses for at least a couple weeks and use steroid drops to try to correct the issues with my eyes. Hopefully the issue goes away. I really do not like wearing glasses, but I have no choice right now. LASIK is a possibility because my eye prescription has been stable for 10 years, but LASIK and the potential complications scare me. Time to start researching local laser eye doctors...
We will see a few pop-ups today, but tomorrow's storms could be even stronger for us.
More heat and humidity today, along with more pop-up storms, then even
stronger storms Thursday. Today we will be partly cloudy with temps
warming to 90 and humidity staying high. We will have some spotty
showers and storms popping up this afternoon and they
could have some heavy downpours. We stay very humid overnight with low
temps in the lower 70s.
An approaching cold front on Thursday will trigger more showers and
storms. The Storm Prediction Center has N/W Ohio in the "General
Thunderstorm" criteria, the I-71 corridor in the "Marginal Risk", and
S/E Ohio in the "Slight Risk" for severe weather. So
the strongest storms likely in Southern and Eastern Ohio on Thursday
with gusty winds and hail possible, along with heavy downpours. We
could have a few spotty morning showers, but most of the storms will be
midday and in the afternoon with clearing skies
by the evening with the cold front pushing the rain out to the east.
Mostly sunny, warm, and less humid for Friday and Saturday. The
atmosphere heats up more and humidity rising by Sunday and early next
week. With the heat and humidity returning, the chance of rain will
return with pop-up isolated rain Sunday and next week.
WATCHING THE TROPICS - There is an unorganized cluster of storms off the
coast of the Florida panhandle. The storms are expected to start to
become more organized today and could become our second named tropical
storm of the year, Barry. The general track
of the storm looks to head west towards the Louisiana and Texas coast
later this week. Since the storm is still unorganized we will need to
closely monitor the conditions over the coming days. Have a good one!
Best,
Andrew Buck Michael
