Bob Anderson 6/22/12 8:45 am Hello Bob,
Don't know if my prior response got thru, however at this time temps range from the low 70's in am to high 80's during the day. Much is mitigated by running, cycling, etc onthe beautiful path network (paved) down by the Boise River. It's an arid climate, so easy to tolerate.. Been teeeeeeeeelling some of the run organizers about UJENA; will put Allen, the Robie Crk Half Marathon documentarian in touch,. Best, Jim
