2 Records in One Day!
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009HOT! HOT! HOT!
Monday, July 27th, 2009The weekend was in the upper 80s…Last night the low was only 67 so our house never cooled off. Today hit 92 and now at 11pm it is 80 degrees. I bet we don’t even drop below 70 tonight. This makes it rough in a house with no AC. The temps going forward – Tues 95, Wed 100, Thur 95…Holy Cow.
The record high, ever, in Seattle is 100. We could finally break that on Wed. If we get 5 days with 90+ temps, that would be a record as well. This is going to be a rough week for everyone.
Oh, and the dew points are high which keeps the nighttime temps high and the humidity is running around 50% – so I’m sweating a lot.
Update: Just to be clear, I LOVE IT! I love fun, exciting weather. We had rain and thunder the other day, now we have record breaking heat. I couldn’t ask for more. Well, AC would be nice.
Nate’s Birthday, Injury Update
Thursday, July 9th, 2009First, the injury update. During the marathon I noticed that I had some left calf pain but the pain had dissipated by the end of the race and was completely gone for 2 days after the race. Once the initial muscle soreness left me, I noticed that my left calf was strained. About two days after that my Achilles Tendon became very sore and a little swollen. Well, over a week later and I’m still suffering from Achilles Tendonitis (my own self-diagnosis). I’m using a lot of ice, some Aleve, and now Arnica (thanks Mike). If the pain/swelling doesn’t subside this week, I’ll either go for acupuncture or a doctor. This is keeping me from running, so I’ve joined a gym and started some cross training (which is probably a smart thing to do anyway).
July 4th was Nate’s birthday and it was absolutely beautiful up here. My parents, sister, and brother-in-law were town for the weekend so they got a good dose of a nice Seattle summer weekend. The highlights from the weekend included an Argosy boat cruise through the locks, the West Seattle 4th of July Children’s Parade, and of course Nate’s Birthday party. We had a few of the PEPs families over plus John/Kim and family for a BBQ.
This weekend we have a Sounders game and West Seattle Summer Fest – pretty exciting.
The BubbleMan was in the Junction tonight doing a bubble show. Zach is right there in the middle of it all.
