HEADED FOR MY FIRST DNF?

Several forces are conspiring to make the Fallsburg Marathon my potential Waterloo. First, my right foot has become a bit more painful. Second, the latest weather forecast now has even higher temperatures ... I may be looking at near-90 degrees toward the end ... if I last that long. Third, the National Weather Service has issued an "Air Quality Alert" for raceday. Fourth, I'm apparently getting some sort of viral illness ... I'm "open at both ends", feel very weak, jittery, and feverish. And if that's not enough, I can tell you that the sprinklers at the edge of the Meijer parking lot in Grand Rapids go off at exactly 1:12 a.m. and lasts for who-knows-when. Luckily, the water hasn't penetrated my Element's cabana ... yet!
