No End In Sight

It looks like, while the extreme heat from last week has subsided, the hot weather will stick with us for a while. And, as an added "bonus", we may actually see some rain (which is good) in the form of thunderstorms (which is bad). These facts provide a great opportunity for a couple of reminders.

First, stay hydrated - all day, every day. The "camel strategy" does not work very well for runners!

Second, our running camp follows the national federation of high school sports guidelines, so activities will be halted for a minimum of 30 minutes if we have lightning or thunder during camp. We are fortunate in that Webster Park has a number of shelters to ride out a storm, if necessary. Do avoid the open fields and tall trees.
