tarzan couldn't stand this heat

I love sunshine and hate heat. It was 29 degrees in my room this morning and the heat has sapped me of all good intentions. Yesterday I was going to get a long steady state workout in. Instead I biked for 33 minutes and then convinced myself I would do a lot of walking as exercise. After frenzied errand running I arrive to donate blood and I think 'I'll walk like 10k after I give blood. It will be cooler out after 6'. Instead I donate, feel kind of woozy and lightheaded, walk 2 blocks to the Safeway and feel like I am going to pass out. I buy some groceries and take the bus home as it involves no transfers. The no transfers means I am sitting on a baking hot bus for almost an hour. I stumble the two blocks home from the bus stop and practically pass out on the couch.

So in the end I didn't get much of a workout in but I am 610 grams lighter because I donated that pint. Maybe it will even out for the lack of a workout?

Have made nutritious breakfast and done a laborious fruit and vegetable chopping session to set myself up with fruit salad and coleslaw for a few days. And it is only 10am. Richard is taking us to do the Grind in the mid-day heat. How bad can that be? There is tree shade...I'm sure it can't be more than 25 degrees in there.

So to recap my 4 day weekend I have:
- Hiked around Anacortes WA
- Spent quality time with best friend from University
- Grouse Grinded
- Visited Old Navy in search of summer shorts
- Watched for the first 6 episodes of season 6 of 24
- Read the Saturday paper in the car in a 2 hour border line up
- Cleaned bathroom
- Watched many episodes of John & Kate + 8
- Tanned at Kits beach
- Chopped fruit and vegetables
- Made brunch for myself 3 times
- Purchased tickets to the rodeo at Stampede
- Donated blood
- Purchased internal flights for Vietnam trip

Today I might add more time at the beach, another Grouse Grind, and watching the Yaletown bike races.
