Today summer started hitting on all cylinders. I went 4 miles, a lot of the last mile in walking mode. The temperature hit 96 degrees but the heat index was 107. Yeah, humid. I'm still getting acclimated to the horrendous heat so I told myself to walk as needed. And yes, I needed it. When you're 50-something years old you have to slow down and listen to what your body's telling you. I'm sure there are plenty of people my age who push it and really exert themselves, but I'm not one of them. I want to live to run another day. Not that working out hard would necessarily kill me in this heat, but it sure would increase the odds. Now it's time to relax and cool off.
