Stay home you Bush homo. We don't want you. Don't ruin our state. Better yet why don't you join the army and become the last stupid sucker to die in the war Bush lost in Iraq.

Early morning runs, setting up water stops for long group runs. It is not complicated.
i live in nashville and it has been tough to run anything longer than an hour. the heat zaps you, but you get used to it. i look at it like training at elevation. you plow through the summer and do as much as you can and once winter hits, you roll. like what some others said, you adjust and it gets easier.
Stupid asssssss. Why didn't you join the mercenaries. Now we US taxpayers gotta pay your momma $250,000 when you get blown up in Iraq by an IED made by Akmed from Teheran. If you dumb asses didn't join there'd be no more tax burden on the VA and Pentagon. You guys are ruining the federal budget. Get out of the army alive and join the mercenraries. Save us smart college educated REAL Americans the burden of paying for the Iraqi peasants to scrape up your abandoned blown up body parts, and dried up scabs from the sands of Iraq.
People have to realize, for one thing, that this is NOT a typical year in the South. In places like Atlanta, it is VERY, VERY rare to have temps approaching or exceeding 100. I think even the most "comfortable" Atlantans are having a hard time this last 3-4 weeks. Most years, it's the same, day-in, day-out ... high of 90, low of 70. Not hard at all to get used to after about a year ... and I say that having grown up in Minnesota and moved down there in my early 20s.
After 7 years of that, moved back north. Like it did down there, took me about a year to adjust, now I"m fine.
can someone ban this guy?
It probably has less to do with climate than with cultural preference. Track athletes don't have the same cachet as football players. It's not like the heat and humidity prohibit outdoor exercise. Football teams practice in nasty heat in early August.
It does to an extent. The school districts in my area have limited outdoor middle school practices to 60 minutes, and high school practices to 90 minutes.

Actually I have a list of the top 15 US cities with the highest percentage of mobile homes.
The south has 3 cities on the list (all in florida).
Midwest has zero.
The other 12 . . . are all out west.

Well Minnesota has been hot this year too (actually last couple years). During July is was hotter in central Minnesota than NC.
I heard a story on NPR that has a scientist whose studies showed after two weeks of sustained hot weather people that were out in it showed chemical changes in their body to acclimate. I do seem to run "better" after a few weeks of pure turture, but I'm not sure it's acclimation.

Fair point. Football teams practice in the morning and evenings. Few people are reckless enough to run around at noon when it's 103. That said, it seems questionable that the climate is the primary reason the southeast doesn't produce a bumper crop of elite runners.

Whatever you losers in the South do, don't move to Oregon and ruin the most pristine existence known to mankind Oregonians have here on earth. Suffer in your own pathetic isolation, and with your illogical crutch with Jesus. Jesus will save ya'all (hah hah !) You can visit Oregon anytime, but please don;t come without a round trip ticket, so you can hurry back home to your trailer park in the South.
