Hot running

 After compiling the coldest runs and races I’ve done, I went back and checked for the hottest.  I didn’t include anything that wasn’t specific (a lot of the time I just said “90’s and humid” or something like that).  I guess I did a decent job of avoiding the heat.  I think that is easier to do since typically a morning run will be a lot cooler.  Only 31 times at 95 degrees or more and only three of those were races.  Eight times at 100 or more and one of those was a four hour race.  The all-time hottest run was 109 degrees in Kansas City.  I was out there for 3 weeks for work and put in weeks well over 100 miles.  Typically, I ran 8-10 in the morning and 8-10 in the afternoon.  Fortunately the bike path had water bubblers and I used them.
