Hi All,

I think everyone is waiting for fall, especially me. I love it when the colors begin to become vibrant and gorgeous and the weather is a little cooler and crisp and you do not need the air conditioner every night to sleep. Well, today is not that day.  I just took Hannah for a 4 mile power walk and it was hot and humid even for me. I really love the hot weather and we all love to sweat when we work out, but you need to make sure you are hydrating yourself as much as possible. I see people wearing heavy clothes and some in sweatshirts.  Clothing like that will not allow the heat to escape and traps it on the skin. It is still too hot to wear fall clothes outdoors.

The Chicago Marathon took place yesterday and a 35 year old man died from HEAT EXAHAUSTION. They also had 250 people hospitalized from heat exposure. The race was closed down at the mid point due to the weather. It was way too humid yesterday to run a marathon.  Remember, drink plenty of fluid while working out and wear cotton near your skin. So go ahead and sweat, but be aware and don’t get too overheated. 

Ciao,

Debra
