Exercise Part III (Dog Days of Summer)
Jun 23, 2009
Okay to catch up, I have still been exercising, but the last thing I want to do it post about it, especially since my pedometer is broken. Trust me when I hit the door after my 3 miles, do not get between me and the shower. I start taking of clothing as soon as I get one foot in the door and by the time I get to the shower, well, I'm ready to take a shower. And the showers I take-cold. Straight up cold showers. It feels soooo good.Since I am blogging I will tell you about tonight. Walking in 95 degree weather and I really didn't break a sweat until about 1/2 a mile into the walk but once I start there is no stopping it. The funny part was it started to drizzle. I could see it in the air and on the sidewalks, however, I couldn't feel it. Humidity+sweat=cannot feel it raining. So I just plowed through. I figured what could it hurt?
I really don't like walking in the hot, hot heat (reference intended) but I actually think it is character building. It becomes a war with your mind to see how far your mind will let your body go. It actually has been surprising at times.
Currently I have a tall glass of ice water and a piece of wheat toast with peanut butter. I have never felt better! :)
