I heard it hit 90 and who knows what heat index. My hat's off to you--finishing that marathon in those conditions is no less an achievement than PRing or anything one measures these things by. I admire your tenacity--I think most in your place would have dropped out.<BR/><BR/>I hope you suffer no ill effects from the ordeal! May your next marathon be cool and cloudy!Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995153336773206769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26945556.post-77812503625685187272007-10-08T19:35:00.000-04:002007-10-08T19:35:00.000-04:00It was surreal.That about sums it up for me.
