It was hot!!

Hottest 4th of July in Chicago since 1911.  I don't think I've ever been so hot in my life!  OK..I take that back..the Chicago Half Marathon last September was hot too.  "Marched" in the Hinsdale parade with K9 Fit Club.  The parade itself was short but the waiting was long! Everyone was in good spirits...dogs, babies and adults alike.

K9 was created by Tricia Montgomery.  A few years ago, the founder weighed 265 pounds.  She lost weight and was inspired to help others do the same.   She said overweight people tend to have overweight dogs too.  She had the idea of creating an owner and dog fitness program.  She took this idea further and created a TV pilot for a series based on this concept.  She recently learned her series will be produced by the Rachel Ray network.  How exciting! 

See her now in the 4th pic below.  She is an inspiration.  An entrepreneur and so passionate about her mission.  I met her today for the first time...another example of you never know what the day will bring...so be ready :)

Parade was so cool...but so hot! :)

Quote for today
"Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or gazelle--when the sun comes up, you'd better be running"

Fortunately, I don't need to outrun a lion tomorrow...we all know who would win that race...unfortunately I will be up running with the sun!

My final heat related thought...this heat reminds me of a General Public song:

"So hot you cool
So cool you hot"

Do your best to stay cool!
