Gonna be hot, hot, hot for the next week or so. Runners of all shapes and sizes, please be smart. Run early and run late. If it is extreme, break up your mileage into shorter runs. Drink, drink, drink -- sports drink, water, anything that is not dehydrating. In the meantime, above is a photo from this morning's Hilltopper Half Marathon in eastern Dutchess County. We call ourselves the "Middle Aged Machines." Well, the middle aged part is accurate, anyway. From left: John McKee (celebrating his 49th birthday), Davey O (David Osterhoudt, who ran every step with the Tube Socks Guy even though he is much faster); Neil Grencer, Mr. Bucket (put on a shirt, will ya?), Some Old Coach celebrating his 18th wedding anniversary to the most beautiful woman on the planet. It was hot, humid and hilly, but we got through it. We are "machines" after all. Or something like that ...
Run. Rehydrate. Rehydrate. Rehydrate. Rehydrate. Run Some More.

Funny picture too, it is as if you are telling him during the picture to put a shirt on!?!?!? Also, congrats on the 18 years. - Lurch
