Hot....F#$!^ing Hot!!!

So a few posts ago I threw out some heat warnings. This was just general information to deal with "normal" summer heat. Now I say, take every one, read it, and IMPLEMENT IT!!!

It's just too damn hot right now. We are in San Francisco, not Arizona. It should never be 115 in San Ramon, I mean never. I can't cope. My AC is broken, its 11:00 pm and the house is 95, and all I have been doing is slamming beers and sangria to try and stay cool. Its so hot, I can't even cop a good buzz.

The run today went well, despite this heat. 14 moderately paced miles with temperatures rising from beginning to end. I must stress the word moderate because today it truly was. Usually running with Tani, Fermin, and Doug (just to name a few), moderate runs turn into fast runs and we never end up doing the slower pace as we should. Today, we all held to a steady pace, sweated until it was pure salt, and finished well. I felt great.

What really got me today was that some S.O.B. had the balls to take our water that Louis had planted. We found the first two water stops just fine, but the 3rd most important...not there. At that point, I was beyond cotton mouth. I really don't know who could have (or would have) taken our water. A do-gooder thinking he was doing something good for the environment...a kid or two playing a practical joke...a homeless person? Whoever it was deserves my size 12 Saucony up their ass!!! I was pissed.

I eventually got over it.

Okay, its late and still no relief from the heat in sight. You want my real opinion? I think heat is the cause to all of the world's problems. I mean look at it...Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel. These people live in god forsaken places where it is hot all of the time. And I do mean ALL of the time. No AC, deodorant, beer, etc and the end result is you want to freaking kill someone. On top of all that they don't shave and their women are wrapped from head to toe. I would hate my neighbor too if that were the case. Mix in some Old Spice, Sierra Nevada, a Hooters, and some Gillette product and you have paradise. Add some freon as a bonus and you would have peace in an instant!

Okay, for a running site I got a little political there but good topics for the next 14 miler. I think the heat is just getting to me. I am OUT!!!!
