"That's Hot!" A new catch phrase of Paris Hilton but also a perfect description of today's run. It was 101 when I started at 9:30am and 104 when I finished about an hour later. But my thermometer measures in the shade. I wasn't running in the shade. So I put it out it in the sun. In two minutes it jumped to 115. So I was really running in 115 degree heat. It's all in the mind. Excessive heat warnings are for wimps.
Weighed in at 157 after run. three pounds over ideal weight. I'm fat!
Last night I looked into this year's Las Vegas Marathon. Sunday Dec. 4, 2005. I don't know what's more daunting -- the 26.2-mile distance or the $95 entry fee. So I'm accepting donations $5, $10, $15, $20 whatever you can afford. But I need pledges by July 31 when the early entry fee period ends and a new higher rate goes into effect. Please help a poor boy pay for 26 miles of torture.
Two weather records today. Highest low temp ever. 93. Old record 92 hit various times in 2002-03. High temp of 116 broke record for this date and was one short of hottest day ever in LV. Can you say Global Warming!
