Today we had lots of thunderstorms. It was wonderful! When they finally cleared out I looked at the temp outside - 66 degrees. I was so freaking excited. I changed into my walking clothes and drove right out to Hefner lake to get some walking done. About five minutes into my walk, the sun came out.
The sun and I have never gotten along. I get overheated so easily and it's all thanks to the bright ball of fire in the sky. Usually if the sun is out, and it's warmer than 50 degrees, I won't walk. I end up getting nauseous and weak if I do. It's been like that since I can remember. The sun has never been my friend.
So anyways - the sun comes out, but you know what? There's still a pleasant breeze. I would be just fine. After 20 min of walking, though, the breeze stops. Great. All I can feel is the heat from the sun pounding on my head. I'm sweaty, dizzy, and nauseous. And I still have 40 minutes to walk. Long story short, I finished my walk and made it back to my car without passing out. The temperature was 76. It rose ten degrees during my walk. How lame.
I normally wouldn't have blogged about something as trivial as this. However, this happens to me ALL THE TIME. As I said, I don't exercise when it's sunny out, so when I walk in the evenings, i wait for either cloud cover, or for the sun to start setting. It never fails though. The minute I get out of my car and start walking, the sun comes out. It's evil. And it hates me. And sometimes I think it's trying to kill me.
Maybe walking at 445 in the morning isn't such a bad idea after all.
