Running, the Heat & My Vacation



As predicted, it was hazy, hot and humid during my four days on Lake George and hotter each day. I love hot weather but this was a little much!

We arrived on Saturday morning and set out for our island spot (Log Bay #3).  Five of our friends arrived on their boat and we spent the day, swimming, eating, drinking and socializing.

At the end of the day, we headed back to sleep at the marina and went to our friends who live in Lake George to play cards.

Sunday morning, I got up and had coffee and breakfast and then headed out for my 4 mile run.  It was hot.  I should have left earlier but this is vacation.  Anyway, it is definitely cooler near the water and it is SO beautiful here.

When I got back, 4 friends had arrived and we headed back to our island site.  Two of our friends arrived also with 8 more people.  What a crowd and so much fun!  I floated on the lake, went on dinghy rides and tried to stay cool.

Again at the end of the day, we headed back to the marina so we could all watch the Bolton Landing fireworks.   Our boating friends headed back to their marinas in Lake George and then drove up to ours.

even the dog enjoyed them

Monday was started exactly like Sunday except it was even hotter.  I got in my 4 mile run. YAY!  This time we only had 10 people on our site.  Our activities were staying cool, of course.

I was glad that I had decided to take an extra day off on Tuesday.  It was very quiet.  Everyone else went back to work.  The heat was incredible so I only ran 3 miles and my hubby was getting impatient at the marina, sitting in the heat.  Today we spent a peaceful day riding around in the boat and reading at the site.

Unfortunately, we finally had to leave and put our boat away.  We ended the day with dinner at our favorite lakeside restaurant.

Happy Running and Stay Cool!
