79F, 17-27 mph.  8:33 avg.  Race pace for tomorrow?  Anyway, looks like it'll be solidly in the 90s for the race tomorrow.  Start about 98, finish around 91.  I thought of a great idea as I finished up this run - I should have done training runs in the heat.  Timely thinking, SlowJoe...

The race sounds like an excellent opportunity for heat stroke. Go easy out there! They should make umbrella hats for runners.

haha! Good Luck! Good Luck!

Just become one with the sun.

Good luck tomorrow. Sounds like a fun race, but that heat will makes things miserable.

Good luck tomorrow! I am interested to hear how it goes.

I'm assuming you're considering this a fun run and not a goal setting run...so have fun! I'm interested to see how it goes and how may participate.

Thanks all, I'm just viewing it as a (fun?) training run with a bib, and we'll see what happens. The high today is now forecasted for a record 108F. awesome.

Congrats to Abilene, TX for its (forecasted) PR!! Good luck on your race, Joe! :-)

I just noticed that my mileage is 1.15% of yours for the year. But I'm a bit over 6% of yours for this month, so I'm trending up. Plus, the Pittsburgh Pirates are finally over .500 How could life get better? Haha

Hope you survived the heat & are not hooked up to an IV somewhere!!

From seeaprilrun on Sat, Jun 18, 2011 at 12:35:31 from 174.70.177.86

Echo JG--awaiting word!
