Looks like Summer decided to have one last harrah here in SoCal. While I do enjoy the nice warm evenings, the heat can be unbearable for long runs and midday runs. In fact, I think it's insane to be running midday this past week. Nonetheless, this past Saturday, I got to the Back Bay around 7am for what was my final 20 miler. It was already warm by the time we headed out for the 2 loops but I do well in the heat so for once I was actually the front runner of the pack; or it could have been that it was so unpleasant that I was just running fast to get it done. Possibly a combination of both. In any case, I am done with the long runs. Feels like I've done so many long runs. I think I've trained just the right amount because any more long runs and I think I would have mentally lost it.

| After my 20-miler on Saturday, I had some frozen blueberry waffles from Van's. They hit the spot. |
 |
| Then my sisters came to visit. We all went swimming because it was so hot. |
 |
| We had some snacks of champions: chips, salsa, salami & cheese, pickles, crackers and pate. |
 |
| Mixture of carbonated lemonade and blood orange juice. | |
|
 |
| Sunday dinner at MC's parents house. It's the place to be for nothing green or multi-grain. |
|
 |
| For those keeping track of my blanket progress. This is what I have so far. It's is about 75% done. I'm very close! |
 |
| On Sunday, it was even hotter than Saturday so we ventured out in search of Shaved Hawaiian Ice, I found this place casually searching the web but they had Italian Ice...not Hawaiian Ice. I need to read more carefully next time. This is Frostbites in Cypress. As the signs says, they have crepes and frozen delights. |
 |
| Feasts your eyes on this frozen delight! This is called a Sorbet Cream - layers of Italian Ice and Vanilla Ice Cream. Amazing! |
 |
| This was my dairy-free one called Sorbet Chill, Mango and Coconut! Really tasty. |
 |
| Menu on LCD monitors. |
 |
| Lots of tasty flavors and the samples were free flowing. |
 |
| The crepe making side of the store. |
 |
| That's my order being made. |
 |
| A Nutella Crepe! I think I like the way the Japanese make it because it is crispier. |

Wow, those squares look really good when you have a bunch of them. That's going to be a nice blanket.
I love Van's Waffles!
Also, wanted to ask you...how much Maca are you using...you know a serving size is only 1/2 teaspoon...someone else told me they hated the taste, and to me, I NEVER taste it! I think if anything it has a hint of a nutty, vanilla taste...try using less (if you are using a lot), and see if that helps! the other person said she was using like 3 heaping tablespoons of it, I use literally a half teaspoon measured out and it doesn't bother me!
