Is that hot? what should cold be? May seem like a dumb question but I've let this thing set for a couple of years while getting my health back after a bout of lung cancer. Going to run a half marathon next weekend!

OP, congrats on whupping the big C I've had three different bouts with two types, early detection is the key to succes Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
