The London Marathon was today, and over 5000 runners were treated with over 70 being sent along to the hospital after the temperatures got up near 70°F. This equals the 1996 heat record for the race.

This week last year I had settled into the house and had time to write quite a bit. All of the news had to do with running, and there were various tips on working out and weight lifting. I finally got back to my animated series this week last year. This time, the animation was…
