Hi! I'm Kiersten, a thirty-something from Maine who accomplished my major life goal of running a marathon on all seven continents. Now I'm in the next phase of my life- being a Mom to a little boy and a dog name Sushi, a wife, and a pediatric nurse. Join me as I run, bike, swim, eat, and laugh my way through life.
Too Damn Hot
I will never complain about "heat" in Maine again. I am in Lubbock Texas this week and I am dying. It was 109 when I landed yesterday and here is the lovely forcast for the week.
I landed about 4:30 and felt like I was going to melt as soon as I stepped onto the tarmac. After checking into my hotel last night I went down to the lobby for the free cocktail hour (I never say no to free food and booze) and found a whole bunch of people with tri bands and numbers on. So naturally I started talking to them and found out they'd just done a half iron distance. Seriously?? I could barely manage the walk from my car to the hotel with my suitcase in the heat. They are my new heroes. Meanwhile I will be hiding inside with the AC.
