I like the Runners World brain freeze idea. If you try it, let us know how it worked. Good luck!

Ken, in last year's NYC Marathon, they handed out Spongebob Squarepants Painters caps. It's the only thing that may hold ice and thin spongy membrane undeneath it to separate me from the ice. If it's not too awkward, I might give it a shot. .
IMKY13 finish!!
Hi All, I've got a race this Tuesday at 6pm, and even though it's later in the day, they are predicting a scorcher. Normally, I breakdown pretty fast when I run in this kind of heat, but it's for my job and I don't want to disappoint. Does anyone have any suggestions, on how to race well, without melting like butter?
