Made it 4 miles this evening, total of 8 for theday.  Not great, but as hot as it is today, not bad either.  I called my dad today to see how he was doing.  It is like 110 with the heat index in Louisville today, and he has heart problems.  We actually had a really nice conversation.  I know that may not sound like much to most people, but for my dad and me, it was wonderful.  I always have to stir up my courage to call him, because our conversations usually involve what I am doing wrong and all the wonderful things my brother and step siblings are doing.  It really bites to be the black sheep of the family.  I told him some things my kids were doing, and he really sounded interested.  So all in all, ending the day on a pretty good note.  Hope everyone else is doing well.
