77F, 97%, SE 4 mph. Got in late from a party last night so I was almost an hour late getting out the door. 10.00 miles in 1:33:10, 9:19 per mile, 142 bpm, 152 max. So 2 seconds faster than Monday, HR 3 bpm lower and temperature 2 degrees higher. After today the daily wear and tear of the week's running will slow me down a little, so this morning was probably my best run of the week.
Speaking of parties, my daughter-in-law, Becky, is in charge of some teen-age girls at church. She was texting on Friday with Quina, 13, from Liberia, and Tenneh, her sister, 16, discussing proper attire for a girls-only swim party. These sisters live deep in the 'hood:
Quina: Sis becky tenneh said if she cn wear bikeny.
Becky: Nope sorry. Modest is hottest!
Quina: Tenneh said bikeny is hottiest.
Becky: Tell her that's just because she's never seen me in a swimsuit! Ha ha
Tenneh: Lol. Quina birthday is this sunday
Becky: You better tell her that we expect to see her birthday dance tomorrow! Ha ha
Quina: Tenneh want u to see her in a bikeny not a swimming suit. Lol. She gonna do a butty dance on u
Becky: She's going to have to fill out a permission slip first ha ha and my hubby will have to sign it.
Quina: Ha ha. Okaii
Becky: Ha ha butty dance. You girls are cray cray.
Tenneh: Lol Awww dont u want a butty dane? Ask ur man?
Becky: I can't talk about bikinis and butty dances anymore. . . Haha. See y'all tomorrow to par-Tay!

Btw, Becky and "her man" announced over the weekend that Becky will be delivering our fourth grandchild in January. I told Clint that I'm feeling prosperous. |
