My blogging took a bit of a downward turn over the last few months as events at work have heated up. As I’ve noted before, there are only so many decent communications molecules in any given day, and there are times when I use all those up before I sit down to blog. On the plus side, I’ve got a long list of ideas kicking around in my head for future topics.
Sunday last I participated in the third Mountain to Sound Relay, a 100 mile event. Our team did pretty well, finishing 9th overall! The downside was that Sunday was the first real hot day in the Seattle area, and I was running the 13.5 mile leg, starting at about 1 p.m., when the temp on the trail was between 90-100 degrees. I thus had lots of time to consider the impact of heat on exercise, and now wish I’d seen this NYT article a few weeks before the event.
Ah, well, had a good run in Chicago yesterday, proving indeed that whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Happy 4th!
