Thursday I finished a 5k walk/jog circuit on the local bike trail. Temp was 90 degrees. Heat index was at 100 degrees. Could only jog 1/4 mile at a time, walk a 1/4 mile & repeat jog/walk/jog. Finally ended up jogging 1/2 mile and finished last 1/4 mile walking. CRAZY HOT! I decided to get up this morning and try a morning workout. After breakfast and some stretching I went out to exercise. Friggin muggy out. 78 degrees, 76% humidity and sunny. Miserable weather for running. Completed a 5k circuit which consisted of starting with 1/4 mile walk, 1 mile jog and 1/4 mile walk, and jog the balance. At the 2.1 mile mark I was ready to die and was completely dehydrated. I'm so over this damn hot weather, especially when trying to exercise. I don't mind sweating, but c'mon. Got back to house and downed 20 oz water no time flat and cooled off in front of fans. I'll be glad when fall gets here.
