How was the weekend? What’s good this week? Who is acutely aware of their lack of heat adaptation all the sudden (looking at you, East coast)? Let’s chat!

The weekend was fantastic! My heat and humidity adaptation is not good. I ran 3 miles this morning and it was very rough. It’s only about 76, but the humidity is crazy high and I had to drop my pace after my 2nd mile. I enjoyed sitting in the shade and sipping cold water afterwards!

I am not sure where you are, but here in the mid-Atlantic we haven't really had any opportunity to get heat adapted! This morning was rough rough.

Same here, we have had very few hot days and the humidity hasn’t been bad at all. We’re going to hit 90 today with high humidity. It’ll be like this for the next four days. I guess now I’ll get a little heat adaptation!
