Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way - Run often and run long, but never outrun your Joy of running!

I love it when Ribs quotes Frankie Valli songs. It makes me feel young since I don’t know what the heck he’s talking about; that's way before my time.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
DickyG – wall-sits – just like they sound. Sit against a wall, back flat on the wall, knees bent, thighs parallel to the floor. Try 60-seconds of that.
WRFB... high dewpoint just drains you. I'd check out weight loss.. dehydration. I skimmed those articles you posted, some good info. But they all are one size fits all generalizations. I think everybody needs to determine thier own sweat rate for hot weather running. And don't forget to backout 32g (100 cal) per mile weight loss from fuel burning
