It's getting HOT out there!

The only place to find shade in my backyard at 11AM is in a grassy area of the yard under an oak tree. I quickly moved from the deck to the grass when the sun felt too much! It made a huge difference!
A few days ago, I chatted with a Stroller Warriors friend currently stationed in Okinawa, Japan— talking about the sizzle of the summer.  I thought it was blazing in South Carolina, but my friend mentioned it being 90 degrees at 2AM in Okinawa— that’s beyond blistering heat!  Shortly after hanging up the phone, I jumped on my rowing machine with a goal of completing 10 rounds of a rowing/strength workout— 5:30PM and 89 degrees with shade...I’ll be fine.   I made it 8 rounds before I had reached my limit.  Completely soaked in sweat, I looked and tasted (yes, my lips tasted salty) like I had plunged into the ocean.  I set out for a 2-mile run the next morning, but swiftly shifted gears— opting for a 1-mile run to my neighborhood track some some pull-ups and slow running intervals, followed by a walk home.  The heat and humidity got to me again. 
​
The weather in our area of South Carolina has been swishy-washy of late—hot humid days; followed by a week of cooler, rainy weather; some pleasant and breezy evenings.  It’s been hard for me to adjust with the weather fluctuations; however, summer is definitely here!  The past 2 days have been a reminder that I need to adjust my running and exercise routine due to the heat.  Whether it’s starting earlier, reducing my load, slowing my pace— I need to make sure I am staying safe in the heat of the summer!  Below are a few Stroller Warrior blog posts from years past about running in the heat:
