Our miserable weather

The past two mornings have been unbelievably hot and humid--where the humidity is coming from is any man's guess because once more we are rainless and cooking under the sun. My fibro has kicked in big time, so I have stayed at home hoping that Monday will bring renewed energy, or something.

One of my cyber running pals has commented that I should enter a race, that surely people will be walking the 5K and I won't come in last. On the other hand, coming in last is rough work, and someone's got to do it, so maybe I should go ahead and find out what it's like to be in a race. All I can say is, if the weather keeps up like this, a race is almost out of the question. It's possible my body simply isn't acclimated to the combination heat-exercise; we'll see. Stay tuned.

When the heat kicks in it takes me a solid 2 weeks of getting out in it to get aclimated. My heart rate goes up about 20 bpm for the same pace in cooler temps so I have to slow down. If it cools off again for a week or more, I'm back to sqaure one. On the other hand, when fall hits I suddenly get (relatively) fast! Go for the race! If you can walk it, you can finish it :-)
