Cool Running for the week of October 7, 2007

Monday, 10/8: 6.3 mile run this morning.

I heard on the news that the Chicago marathon was a sizzler this past weekend with high heat and humidity. One 35 year old man died on the course and over 300 people taken to hospitals. I hope Rich did okay !!! RICH, IF YOU'RE OUT THERE .. LET US KNOW YOU ARE ALL RIGHT! I believe they closed the course after 4 hours.

I ran the Disney marathon last January in oppressive heat and humidity. It was the toughest thing I've ever done. They never closed the course, but they should have.

I did see Big Runner on line last night Betty, so chances are that he wasnt one of the 400.

Saturday, 10/13: 5k race this morning. Hadn't planned to run, but decided to do it at the last minute. Finished in 33 minutes. Not great, but hey, who ever said I was an athlete?! I AM MY OWN COMPETITION THESE DAYS!

Nice job on the 5k Betty. I always tell people I'm in no danger of winning anything when I race. I'm there strictly to compete against me.
