Hot again.

My old boss asked me if I was going to ask EVERYONE to remind me never to walk to Subway (1.25mi) when it’s going to be over 90°F. I wanted to make sure that SOMEONE would remind me next time since I nearly melted on the way back. Fortunately, I was able to watch the end of the World Cup soccer match in the cafeteria from the time that (not going to spoil it for people who haven’t seen it) scored the first goal on (the other team). I’m really getting sucked into some of the games.

I also had a small cramp in my leg during the walk, which was great because it’s now in the other leg. In between cramps I got to see Helen at the gym (two laps around the building, 21 24kb kettlebell swings, 12 kipping pullups, three times). The first lap around the building in the 90+°F heat and I had cottonmouth so bad that I had to stop and get a drink of water. Not only don’t I do well in the heat, but I keep telling myself that I don’t do well in the heat and that probably makes things worse. I think, however, that age probably has something to do with it. That plus the walk to Subway. Plus I couldn’t count and I did 6x med ball cleans with 60#, 80#, 90#, 100#, 90#, and 100#.

Heck, I’m a native Portlander. 50’s and cloudy is the ideal weather for athletics, and the 70’s are hot.
