2. Put an ice cube under your hat and let it melt down your neck- This works during races when ice is available at aid stations

Really enjoyed your yoga session on Saturday at the Yogathon. It's been a while and my body was craving it. I felt so relaxed the rest of the day...hope to take in one of your classes again soon.
