"Hotter than the hubs of Hell"  
I just heard them say it was 37*C on Yorkton Radio. 

Pretty nice eh?

Rodeo Run coming up next week.  Should be a good one. 

If you had to make a choice, what would you choose, -40* or +40* C?

I would choose the plus 40 one, just as we don't get that as frequent ast the other one.  Although, both are a good challenge. 
The +40* run; it would be most critical to keep hydrated.  Carry water with you on the run and don't stop drinking.  I don't think you could over do it drinking while running in that heat.  For us anyway; probably Etheopeans don't have a drink until the next day. 

The minus 40 degree run is more familiar to us.  The big thing would be not to have a strong wind or any head wind for that matter.  The clothing, layering, etc. - we know about that.  We are living proof that cold weather running can be done (no such thing as frozen lungs - a myth).
