The trouble is it hasn't been consistently hot. Whatever heat acclimation we got back in June and early July, we mostly lost during the cool August. So us mideasterners are kind of back to square one with heat acclimation.

A friend of mine wound up puking his guts out in the ambulance at a trail marathon in WV last weekend where it wasn't even that hot, just very humid.

Be careful.


... and thanks for the kick in the @ss to get out there and get my run done before it gets any hotter.
