holy heatwave batman
100 runs successfully completed.
However run 99 was a little, oh what's the word, hmmm .... HOT! For those of you that don't know they shut the marathon down at 3.5 hours.
I'm fine, still sweating and in much need of a cold beer and my sofa. I've just arrived home from Chicago. So I'll post a full report tomorrow.
I just wanted to make a quick post to say I'm okay and to thank you all for your encouraging words, concern, emails and phone calls.

I'm so glad you are okay. I was watching and very concerned when the times stopped and the website went down. Then the heat reports started. Rest and Recover.
