Heat Wave

Here comes summer in the midwest!!!! From weather.com......
HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE MIDDLE 90S WEDNESDAY. HIGH HUMIDITY LEVELS COMBINED WITH THESE HOT TEMPERATURES WILL PRODUCE HEAT INDEX VALUES BETWEEN 100 AND 105 DEGREES. LIGHT WINDS AND POOR ATMOSPHERIC VENTILATION WILL MAKE THIS HEAT EPISODE EVEN MORE STIFLING.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A HEAT ADVISORY MEANS THAT A PERIOD OF HOT TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS... STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM... STAY OUT OF THE SUN... AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.
My favorite part about that paragraph is "stay in an air-conditioning room," yeah right!!!We are getting some hot and humid weather this week. 90's yesterday, high 90's today, and I love it. Perfect weather to acclimate in...simulating what it will be in Kona in October. Now we need those winds to pick up.

Yesterday, I did an easy run at 2:30 p.m. and it was 93 degrees with some good humidity. Felt pretty well, but crashed at the end. If this weather holds, I'll need to take some water with me, no doubt. Today, heat index above 100......the ride will be tough!! But hey, I am getting a killer tan!!! All for now.

    I'll be sitting in the nice cold air conditioning staying as far away from the heat as possible. So, if you find yourself in need of some water...just call. Logan would love to come hose you down.

    I think you misspelled a word there... I thought it was aclimatize? No?
