WOW, IS IT HOT!!!!!! The mercury has really risen this week as we have had three consecutive days of 95+ degree temperatures. There is no respite for at least another five days as the first big heat wave of 2008 settles over the southeast. Folks running Old Dominion this weekend are in for a treat as they will no doubt face high in the upper 90s with humidity near 80%! Great heat training for those running Western States or Badwater. I am running neither so it just plain sucks right now. I have managed to get in three quality runs the last two days after being sidelined with a head cold Monday through Wednesday. I am planning on a couple of longish runs over the weekend. On Sunday, I plan to get out in the heat and do 1 to 2 hours in the afternoon. Once I get used to running in the heat, I really don't mind it. Hopefully, I will "get used to it" soon. For now, I will back of the pace 10% or so and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate...

Great job at Massanutten 100. I'll be seeing you at Grindstone, then again at Hellgate. Why can't we meet up at an easy race sometime?
Agreed. G-stone likely won't happen this year for me so I am thinking about JFK.
I'm glad to hear someone doesn't mind the heat. I hate it. I run with the kids at 8AM, but even then, it's nasty & humid. I've lived in NC all my life, but if I could run at 45 degrees everyday, I'd love it.
Let me know when you have a good training run coming up. I spent 3 days this week running 15 hours on the AT. Check out the blog.
