Re: Did somebody say "Winged Monkeys"???

Yeah, that's right, it's hot!!

That's no excuse though. Beat the heat by running indoors, getting up really early in the morning, jumping in the pool after a run. Or you can just get some smug satisfaction by mentioning in an off-hand manner that "I just got done running 8 miles" during one of these 97 degree days.

OK, you guys in Arizona would think a 97 degree day was downright balmy, but then I hear yours is a "dry" heat.

No matter how much the weather sucks though, we're all in this thing together. And in October, we'll all get together and celebrate each other's victories here in Grand Rapids.

Check out this week's marathon minute too at marathonminute.com. There's winged monkeys in it, so it can't be all bad.

It's 97 degrees. I'm headed out for a run.

and the adventure continues....
