Three Things Thursday (and the winner is) ...

1. On Tuesday, Kalli @ fitandfortysomething, hit me up with The Stiletto Award. I am super honored and would proudly rock some stilettos if my weak ankles would allow. But since they won't, I'm just going to take pride in this award and pass it along to some of my bloggy friends who inspire me ...

Here’s what I’m supposed to do:

1. Display the Stiletto badge of honor.

2. Brag about it – post a link to the page to highlight what the award is about.

3. Say thanks! Include a link to the friend who nominated you.

4. Share the love-nominate 5-10 more blogs. Leave links to their blogs and leave them a comment so they know they won!

5. Do what you do! Keep at it and keep inspiring others.

And the award goes to ...

Katie A @ One Run At A Time

Dallas @ OBX Running Mama

Shelly @ It's Just One Foot in Front of the Other

Emily @ Sweat Once A Day

Meg @ Meg Runs!

G @ Neurosis of a Stay At Home Mom of 3

2. We are having a mini-heat wave here in VA. It's blazing. Like over 90 degrees. Usually, I would be fine with this. In fact, I could deal with 90 degree temperatures everyday. As long as I have a place to escape the heat when necessary, of course. Unfortunately, I don't have a place to cool off right now. Our A/C is dying. Every time the compressor tries to kick on, it is causing the electrical panel in our house to arc. The electrician told us not to run the A/C unless it was "unbearable." It's getting close to that, but I'd much rather be hot than have my house explode. So, basically, we are sweating it out. At least until this afternoon. The HVAC technician is supposed to come here today. I am hoping that also means it will get fixed today (please, please, please. Heat and cranky babies are not a fun combination). I have my hopes that it will be a cool 72 degrees in here by nightfall, but I am not holding my breath ...

3. I am done running until the Cherry Blossom 10 miler. By some stroke of luck, I did NOT have to use my treadmill at all this week. Last night at 7:30, KT joined me for a quick run around my neighborhood (3.42 in 33:35). Here we are pre-run.

It was wicked hot and by the time we finished it was dark. Luckily, I was decked out in all neon, so you probably could have seen me from space.

Then this morning, G came over at 7 a.m. to run the same loop (3.43 in 33:13). We did not, however, manage to coordinate our outfits this time. (Note: this was my second run in 11.5 hours. That counts as a double, right?)

Can you believe I got out of bed and ran first thing in the morning twice this week? It's probably because I was pulling energy from the brightness of this outfit ...

Oh, and before you leave, I want to thank everyone for entering my Moving Comfort Giveaway. There were 262 entries and the winner is number 43 ...
