What are we doing if it really is 99 degrees?

Holly said...

Yes, we do run in the heat.

However, everyone should run at their own pace and pay close attention to how you are feeling. Feel free to bring additional fluids, slow down, and take walk breaks if needed.

Remember to always hydrate and be aware of what your body is saying during these hot summer days/nights.

It's a bit of a tradition that the practice race seems to coincide with the hottest day of summer.

I will be wearing my water belt that way I always have water with me. They are not that expensive and don't way much. Just an idea for some of the newer runners.

Will there be more than the one water stop at Eastman/Monument?

Holly said...

We'll have lots of water out there. We should be able to have water at the Fairgrounds, Park and cemetery and other as needed (Eastman and 3rd). We'll be announcing locations before we run tonight.
