Here Comes the Sun, Doo Doo DooDoo Doooo ☠️

Here's a timely article on heat adaptation for athletes. Shouldn't be paywalled - if it is let me know and I'll copy-paste the whole thing.

We're under a daily heat advisory here - I see it every morning on my phone. So for now, I'm going to be running most, if not all, my workouts inside on the treadmill. There's heat adaptation and then there's avoiding heat stroke. And the humidity here is almost always 95% or higher, so it's absolutely miserable even before the sun comes up. And it starts getting light and it's like that Super Mario level where the angry sun is trying to kill you.

Anyway, at least indoors I have a chance of dumping heat, where outside I can't really cool myself because sweat won't evaporate and I'm just wet AND hot.

We've been under a daily heat advisory also. But I've been persisting. Oftentimes the wind does help. I'm careful not to overdo it though. I've been listening to my body. I haven't always done that but now that I'm getting older, it's happier when I do. At some point, I have to realize that I'm mortal. My husband still hasn't gotten that memo but that's another discussion for a different day :/

Speaking of the sun - have you seen people talking about how our sun now isn't real? I guess it was swapped out during the eclipse. It does make you think. I still feel like we're in a simulation. When I was in college, a professor introduced the brain-in-the-vat theory to us. I've not forgotten it but I didn't put much stock into it. It's laid dormant in my mind. Now though...

outside I can't really cool myself because sweat won't evaporate and I'm just wet AND hot.
This is a concept N isn't understanding. His health has been taxed this week yet he persists. He's showing signs of ending back up in the hospital. [Again, different topic/another day.]
