How do I know? Summer solstice. My grandma's birthday. (She'd be 105 tomorrow and she LOVED the heat.) Well, those things and I watch Haddy McClain on News 3 every morning.
With lows in the 70s for the next few days, the road never really cools off. And with highs in the high 80s/low 90s with an abundance of humidity, they seem to steam during the day.
That means you need to be careful.
- Get out there early when it's cooler.
- Carry water even if you aren't going far.
- Take some to drink and some to dump over your head.
- Drink when you're not thirsty.
- Drink before you leave the house.
- And drink some more when you get home.
If you notice you're NOT sweating, time to call for help. Oh, need to add one more thing to that list:
- Take your phone and your water.
Just be smart. And remember, convulsions aren't cute.
Do you have any tips or tricks for staying cool during your workout when it's hot? Comment here or on Facebook!
