Thanks for the message. I was beginning to wonder if I was using the heat as an excuse for my poor performance. I suppose not! Lol. It just sucks and that’s all there is to it.

I really worried about running in sub-zero temps and snow over the winter here in Northern IL, but the heat is so much more challenging!! YUCK.

LOVE that shirt!!

And yes, everyone is down about the darn heat and even in the gym you’re miserable on the dreadmill.

The kick in the pants is a reminder to hang in there and don’t let the heat beat ya!

I can remember when I used to run all the time, I would carry a cold washcloth with ice cubes in it. IT really helped, a LOT. Then I heard it was an invention that someone had already come up with, that you put on your neck. I was a few years late

Jess, thank you for writing this post! Even though I’ve been running during the mornings, my runs have been less than stellar lately, and it’s nice to hear I’m not the only one feeling the humidity’s effects.

I’m with you for sure! Being from Texas, I wish I could say I’m used to the heat…but that’s not the case. I do have the “I will not give up!” mentality, and I always feel pretty great when I get through one of these hot runs. Looking forward to cooler temps – they’ll be here before we know it!

Thanks for this! It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’ve always hated the heat and running in it is like torture. I’m counting the days til Fall!
Hang in there everyone!
