I'd actually wanted to do 21, so I pegged doing 20 as throwing in the towel. We are sick, sick people. Nice job, Christi! Actually, I did 20 anyway.

Of course it will do and then some. Can't wait to read all about it. <strong>Christi</strong>, congrats to you, too! What a great PR, you're so much faster than last year! <strong> Joe</strong>, I feel your pain. Looks like 3 more days of this steam and then some cooler stuff again. <strong>Julie</strong>, I heard about More, Dog ran it as a training run. She saw a lot of downed runners. Miserable day but good on you to getting to 17. I wouldn't have been cavalier about leaving late if I had 20 to do. That's when it really sucks. Jim, congratulations!

Over on tnis coast, I kept my gloves on till mile 18 or so.. Don't go looking for my Big Sur report yet Flo - that's gonna be a while, but will 3:29:55 do for now?

I had a 20 miler in Central Park today that was fine until about mile 17. Then I'd had it. So I alternated running at a decent pace and walking. I managed 8:45 average at 77% MHR, which is about what I'd expected between the heat and hills. But the run certainly filled me with dread with regard to the weather to come. There was a "fun run" going on at the same time (they canceled the full More Marathon and declared the Half a fun run). I saw two women loaded into ambulances and another two prone on the grass, getting help. The sun was strong, too. I got burned. Then I required an unprecedented three hour nap. It's amazing how sneaky the heat and sun are. Watch those tags…
