They told me I could come in 'a little late' to work this morning since I will be working until about midnight and then back in the office at 7 tomorrow. Wasn't that nice of them? (rolls eyes).

The heat wasn't bad. I carried some water because I am still getting over being sick. It was a pretty day out.

Nice miles! Sorry you have to work this weekend. I will miss you on the crest.

So glad you got'er done! That's a lot of miles before work! Bummer you have to work till midnight and back at it at 7am.

Never got my second workout in today. I am dying of the heat. We are on the top floor of our building and the air conditioning died yesterday. I have set fans up to try and cool off the file-server and router.

You've got to be kidding. They can't make you work under such horrid condition. If it's too hot for the server and router, it's too hot for human. Today's the hottest day of the year reaching triple digits. They're forecasting even hotter temp tomorrow. I hope they get the air condition working soon. Please don't get overheated.

Oh - it is so much fun. My fan is in the other room and my clothes are soaked with sweat. Hopefully, the team from Michigan will be ready to call it quits for the night soon and I can get out of here.
