12 of 12

So I'm doing my 183rd 12 of 12.

Normally it is 12 pictures taken on the 12th of the month. Since I only post once per day, you get my images the following day. All pictures taken with my iPhone. Click images to enlarge, if you choose.

Created by Chad Darnell and picked up from, what I can tell, any number of random bloggers who then link back to him and vice versa. Chad is no longer doing this, nor is successor coordinating the linking of other 12 of 12'ers anymore.   

06:14. Prepping for my morning run. 

I took this off after the Cleveland Half, but my knees has felt a bit unsteady, so I put it back on. 

06:32. Dog gets fed first. 

07:28. Old Man's Running Group starts to gather. It is already 81°F !

09:08. 8.38 miles later 

It was awful. The run. The heat. The humidity. At the 8.1 mile mark, I had to stop for almost passing out.

09:34. It was also the Old Man's Running Group 'picnic'. You've got a Baking with Blobby post coming. 

Me? I ate lightly. I did have a Gatorade, two glasses of iced tea, the rest of my water and three popsicles. 

Eventually I had a bagel, but oddly not a bit of what I made. 

12:20. Picking up lunch at Culvers. 

Shep, 710 and I were on our way to our Saturday hike. 

12:38. 710 really needs to work on his zoom and focus skills. 

The sign made me laugh. I hope you can read it. 

12:49. French Fry Lunge.

Our lunch outing. In the car. It was too oppressive to eat outside. Post-Nuclear blast warm. 

13:11. Hike, but in a place with almost 100% shade. 

It was the only way an afternoon walk would happen. 

14:02. Post walk temp. 

17:34. A very very well deserved shower. 

21:14. Chocolate Fudge Brownie.
