Brilliant observation about the weather, I know. But really people, it’s been hot. I went out for a nice, easy 5-miler at 3PM yesterday and began to get hallucinations around the three-mile mark. It was 90 degrees and 80% humidity, and I kept wondering why I didn’t see any other runners in Central Park. It’s because it’s damned hot outside, you idiot.
So the day before I was running along FDR Drive, the four-lane highway on the east side waterfront of Manhattan. It was hot then, too, and I was out there wearing only my new, bright yellow Mizunos and a moisture-wicking pair of running shorts, that’s it. I do not pretend to be anyone’s idea of a fine physical specimen, but at least I’m not too overly embarrassed when the heat forces me to run around like some topless, drunk 19-year-old in a ‘Girl’s Gone Wild’ video. Anyway, I’m running along the FDR, and the traffic is backed up for miles as it is sometimes, and soon I discover I’m eye candy for several drivers and scrubs stuck in gridlock. And then I get a major shout-out of whoops and hollers from one vehicle. And then another. So without missing a beat, I throw over my right shoulder a look that can only say: ‘You want some? Well, baby, sweetie, honey, you better be moving at 7:45 minute/miles on land or sea if you want some of THIS’. And then I fly off like a half- or fully-naked Will Ferrell, which he always seems to do in just about every movie he’s in.
I told you the heat is affecting my brain.
I’ve got more crap like that to post, so watch out. Next up is a post about yesterday’s trip to the pool, where I cranked (or is that crunked?) my customary laps while CNN’s Anderson Cooper, learning to scuba dive, sits at the bottom of the pool looking up as I exhibit PERFECT FORM for the children and old folks and at least one TV journalist. I was Cranky/Sexy (pronounced ‘Thek-thy'), alright.
Back to the heat. Sing it, James.

Ugh! I get the feeling that heat and humidity could kill.
Let's see, how many weeks ago was I complaining about the killer cold??
Let us know if you cause any accidents with your distracting drivers!
Anderson's hot. But you got him beat with those shorts, honey. Uh-huh!
And I thought Angry was the one with all the " mad people were jealously checking me out posts"...new Blog title
The sexy runner?
all that aside I'm glad I picked this week as my off week, good to hear you're back I missed the posts.
and the Rick James
It. Has. Been. DISGUSTING! It hit like 98% humidity here on Saturday. I almost puked. But speaking of disgusting things that almost make me puke, I've seen you in a singlet (never had the pleasure of a topless Cranky), and hell, if the rest of your torso is anything like those biceps, *I* might even run a 7:45/mm to keep up with your sexy piece of Mizuno-clad ass.
I love Will Ferrell movies!
Running passed backed up cars in NYC traffic must be a great feeling. All those people that are jealous because your are faster than them...
LMAO!!! OK, so are you going to be on AC360? I never watch, but would for you. :)
Too funny - now you have to make sure you have good form while running since you are eye candy!
Oh, Cranky, where art thou!?
Cranky....where are you man?
Crap I blame this all on the pyschos riding in Central Park!
