Hashemian Blog Huh? What? Monday, July 17, 2006 Jogging in the heat wave  The entire U.S. is baking in the summer heat. Add oppressive humidity to that for the Northeast and you have a recipe for heat stroke and other heat-related issues. So how can I not heed the challenge and not go out for a jog? That’s exactly what I did this evening. Admittedly it wasn't at the height of the heat, nor was I the only one out there defying nature. There were a few other crazy souls out pounding the pavement. But if there was any pounding, the runners were taking the brunt of it. I will not debate the wisdom of running in this kind of weather, especially without any water. Suffice it to say, it's unwise. By the time I was done, my body temperature was dangerously high and I was soaked from head to running shoes. Thankfully the end of my route was right by the local grocery store and I immediately went inside. The cool air inside the store could only be characterized as life-giving. As I walked the isles to pick up a few things, I was confronted with the stares of the strangers who no doubt were sizing me up discreetly with disgust, making sure not to get too close to the sweaty guy. I don't blame them, I could barely tolerate myself in that state. I am finally home. After taking a cold shower and drinking a ton of iced seltzer (my favorite drink), I am almost back to normal now. I couldn't help but compare this to my jogs in the dead of winter and how the steam rising from my body would form ice crystals under my wind breaker. I guess all of this is par for the course for a jogging addict. As long as this body can take the abuse, I have little to complain about. If only my organs could talk. jogging,running,heat wave <Jogging in the heat wave> // posted by rh 0 comments | 0 Comments: Post a Comment
