The day started with a strong rain and wind storm, followed by thick, humid air and spotty drops until noon. Then the sun appeared and the combination became stifling to most people as the thick air remained, and the heat index rose to high levels. Yet, five runners made it past sixty miles, moving along enough to maintain their collection of laps and the hope for a finish in three weeks or so. Now, each lap is precious, for the weather can be fickle, and summer remains in close proximity every day in New York. Vasu Duzhiy was fortunate to pass the 2000-mile mark for the seventh time in his sterling career- this time was his fastest by over two hours, 37 minutes. Kobe Oren , going home earlier than everyone else the last week or so, somehow led the day with 64.2 miles. Kaneenika Janakova led the ladies with 61.46 miles, trying to make a push to erase a deficit of over 31 miles. 

Relief will come in less than 48 hours, as storms brew for Tuesday. Stay cool, folks.
