OMG, I think I'm finally re-hydrated! I thought I'd never get enough fluid this AM.
I went walking with doggies after 9AM and it was already 87 degrees!! Took them on a very abbreviated walk on the shadiest areas I could find, then went back out to finish up my mileage. I had 2 more loops to do when I circled back home. I was so-o-o hot! I made a deal with myself that I'd stop and drink some water and that if the temp was 92 or above, I'd call it quits for the day; below 92 and I'd try to finish up.
Why 92? Just arbitrary, but I know that back a week or so, I had a really bad time when I finished walking at 94 degrees, so I was hoping to push the limit but not go over, if that makes any sense.
Well, the temperature was 91 - DARN! So, I drained nearly 32 oz. of water and headed back out. But I was in luck as some clouds came over to block the sun for about 3/4 of what I planned to do. So, all in all, I did finish the full 3.3 miles today and I am very proud of myself! The pool felt great!
The weather should get a few degrees hotter(!!) over the next 5 days or so, so I've GOT TO get out earlier if I plan on walking.
It's going to be a quiet day for me with just household stuff to work on and a haircut appointment to be made.

Great job on getting your walk in being as hot as it is. And did I hear a haircut? Planning on a drastic change? Planning on submitting any pics?

Yes, you heard "haircut." But my hair is already short and has been for years. With short hair like mine, it means a trim/cut every 5-6 weeks to keep it in shape. No pics, as I break cameras - LOL!!!

Bren, I don't know why today was such a water-guzzling day, but it sure seemed like I needed a lot more water than usual, even considering the heat. Enjoy your day too.

Good on you for drinking lots too!

Squiggs, a few stores in the area do Christmas in July sales. It would certainly be nice if we could get some of your winter weather to go along with those sales; at least a few minutes of that cooler weather would help immensely!

Sandy - glad you made it back in one piece. I've always wondered how it is that I got shamed into submitting a pic and you haven't? Someday I look forward to submitting a "before and after" but am waiting for there to be enough contrast to bother.

See, you should have known better than to mention haircut!! You sound like me. My family has to sneak them in when I'm not looking, otherwise, I hide behind someone! I used to turn my head, but then they wised up and took a picture anyway...of my backside! Boy! I don't turn anymore!:)You won't break any cameras! Buffy's got her beautiful picture on, you can do it! I'm glad you drank your water in that heat. I hate it when it gets to the 90's and is muggy. I lose my ambition when it gets that hot! Yuck, but the pool had to make you feel better!

Buffy, truth be known, I actually did try to download an avatar many months ago. But the computer just about had a hernia trying to do it, maybe it was too big - LOL!!!! - and finally gave me some error message or just aborted, can't remember exactly. I might give it another try with a different photo, if I can find one. I bet there's already enough of a change in you for us all to notice. If you can tell a difference, so can we!

Kim, it's REALLY easy for me to lose ambition in this heat. Even if I can get a walk in, I just don't have energy for much else. I really feel for the workers who are outside all day long....the lawn care people, highway and construction workers, etc. Taking frequent breaks and making sure they're hydrated can only go so far when it's so darn hot!

Hey I vote for pics too! Ha Ha, not kidding though. I'll make you a deal - How about a goal pic? At 150 I will submit a before & after. What do you think?
