one of the reasons I've been such a slug lately

You may have noticed the distinct lack of posts about how great my latest workout was, and how I'm totally rocking the exercise schedule. That's because I'm not. There are several reasons for this, and one of the biggest is this:

The heat index today was something like 115. Outdoor exercise is out of the question, at least for wussy yankee me, after 10 am. I was hoping the hurricane, even if it did ruin us, would at least make the weather cooler afterward. As it turned out, it left us AND the steamy weather completely intact. Ah well.

I did make it to the gym today, though, because it's Errand Day and I had to change my credit card info with them anyway. It's been a while since I've been on the Precor...my half hour of intervals was really nice. Even though I am woefully underprepared for the 10/8 ride, I'm tempted to do the 7:00 spin class instead of a long ride on Saturday if the weather doesn't improve. And if it isn't significantly cooler on ride day, there's no way I'm going even 87 miles. Will. Not. Happen. Probably not even 63...I'll have to be a 42-mile ridin' fool, if I don't just scrap it altogether.

In the time it took to write this, my weather gopher display went up to 102. I'd like to go back to Wisconsin now, please.
