How do "U" beat the heat???

Try REI...

If you have the product shipped to a store, there is no shipping.

They have locations in Henderson and Reno...As I recall, Henderson isn't that far from Las Vegas.

But given gas prices, it might be cheaper to ship a case to your house, than to drive to pick up one!

Ooh, I forgot about REI. I never go there. I actually live in Henderson and that REI at Green Valley Ranch is fairly close to me. I'll check in there next time. Thank you. I have been thinking about just ordering them in bulk since I go through them so fast.

You get a 20% discount if you order them by the case at REI...I think that works out to something like $1.50 each...

Funny you mention this. I too leave the house around 5am because I can't stand the heat - it's why I live in NH our hot days aren't too many but for me walking in 75+ is a chore.

So it's 5 or nothing. We do have a trail that is 95% covered by trees that we can also use but the 5am thing is working out ok for now.

We also walk by a restaurant that opens at 6am and they have a bucket of water for dogs that are hot. One morning I was sorely tempted to dump that bucket of water on my head as I went by.

During the 1/2 in January - remember I'm used to training in 30-50 or less - I was so hot by the time I finished my first 3 miles - sun was almost completely up, I started to drink 1/2 of the water I was handed and then dump the rest on the back of my neck. Otherwise I get a wicked headache.

Hey you do what you have to!

Well, after running today at 6am.......I feel great

Bad thing was being so darn hungry. At 10am, I wanted to eat lunch I think it was because my body clock needed to eat!!!

I have to admit, I drank more water today and I had to have a small coffee cup of frosted flakes............weird, then again my body craved it

I am getting on my ellipitical tonight, for just 20 minutes. And tomorrow I will just do the ellipitical and then my plan for Wed is to wake up and go run at 5ish.........to insure I run my whole 3.1 route for distance and not time like I had to do today!!

I have a neck injury so carrying anything extra is not an option, because my neck tends to throb just with my IPOD and ROADID. But I will dream about the cold wash cloth

I always stop by that REI when in Vegas (at least once a year). We don't have one and I enjoy just walking around checking out stuff. It doesn't hurt that it is attached to a nice casino

We are getting a Dick's Sporting Goods soon - YEA!

enjoy,
