I guess in extreme heat the hammy will have to do. It's a shame that you can only run outdoors 2 months of the year. You should travel somewhere to do more races! That’s so true, TX is extremely hot.

I used to run relatively short distances (5 miles) when we lived back east, but since moving here to south TX, it is pretty much impossible to run anywhere either safely due to lack of sidewalks (and the easement from the road is used by drivers as the slow lane), or the ridiculously oppressive heat (in the mid-90's even at 8 at night) make it unsafe. Treadmill running has its place for someone like me that needs to 'train teh body' to at least maintain a certain pace, but I get boredboredbored by treadmills, and find that I tend to just shuffle off running altogether. I like to run, and I wish I could run outdoors, and I guess until it cools down here (pretty much only December and JAnuary), I need to find other things to keep my occupied while I do my 'hamster run' on the dratted treadmill.
