Sometimes those AM runs can suck it outta ya! Wish I could get up at 0600 and run but the wife says it is inconsiderate of me to do so because it wakes her up.

Funny how her watching tv in bed till 1am isnt inconsiderate of me needing to get to sleep but hey, marriage is a sonofabitch!

Yesterday was supposed to be the hottest of the days but I thought it wasnt bad. Did about 3 miles at 6pm last nite.......little breeze was JUST enough to keep it "cool"

Kind of a funny story. I coach 8U coach pitch softball, so I called the park office yesterday to see if they were still having the games, since it was so hot. The message was:

"All girls youth softball games in the annex will be played. All adult softball games in the annex are cancelled due to extreme heat"

I completely understand why the youth games would still be played, as we only play 4 innings, and the girls aren't exactly doing alot of running, but I just thought it was funny the way it sounded.

Now that is pretty funny right there!

WHy would they cancel the adult games? I would think, being an adult, if any of the players thought it was too hot they could decide for themselves to not play.
I find that kinda sad. It isnt like softball is that taxing on the body

Have you seen some of the guys that play softball, especially catcher?

I was playing in a tourney at Berliner in Cbus a few years ago and a guy passed out in the middle of an inning. Squad had to be called.

Yea, the youth leagues are pretty shoddy. The field is in terrible condition 90% of the time, the umps never show up, and they don't know the rules when they are there.
