Got a major gushing nosebleed for no reason in the middle of the night last night. I woke up choking on it but convinced myself it was nasal spray saline that must have been stuck in my sinuses for a day and was finally coming out. I kept choking and coughing, so I finally decided to get a kleenex and blow my nose to get the saline out. So I did, and a large amount of liquid came out, a very large amount, so I finally woke up and realized it was blood. Luckily my sheets are red, but unluckily they are not waterproof, so I had to wash my mattress pad today. It was a doozy, a six-tissue 15-minute event.

So I didn't get a good night's sleep again but still managed to drag myself out of bed early and go on the run. 14 miles isn't bad for someone who hasn't been training. I am very pleased. Half marathon training has started! There are four training weeks left.

Right now the puppy and I are upstairs. He's taking a nap. It's very warm inside and it's very warm outside. I've got one air conditioner running. It's going to be a million degrees tomorrow.

Today I took my ironing board and ironed outside.
