6AM, 82 degrees, 97% humidity. No breeze. I think what make today fun was the amount of griping (done very humorously) about the heat and our lack of sanity of being out there.
I might have mentioned this before but we are crewed every Saturday by a wife of one of our Saturday runners. Today this lady was a true God send. Just about the time we were all going to pass out from heat exhaustion we'd turn the corner and **poof** there was Joanne with ice cold gatoraid in cups handing them out to us. I love that woman. Her hubby (our group organizer) had a rough time today and called it quits at mile 8.6. It was his 68th b-day so we didn't give him grief....this time. Luckily some time in the AC car help perk him up. |
