What do do when it's THIS hot??

It got up to 106 this afternoon. At 5 PM when I woke up from my name, the weather guy said it was 101 and felt like 110. Holy crap!

So, I didn't ride today (again). I didn't ride yesterday for the same reason. I have a doctor's appt tomorrow at 9, so I would have to get up at a reasonable hour anyhow. I used to get up at 6 every day (work ended on Friday for me) so getting up at 5 to ride doesn't seem unreasonable.

I am NOT NOT NOT a morning person, but my mood will be really bad and my mental health (I wish I was joking) really depends on exercise. My therapist suggested I do whatever I need to to stay focused on my goals today. He's very much right. I have been so happy, so healthy, and really in great shape. I can't let the heat get me down! I will be home in a week and it will get easier (an hour outside of Chicago it is not THIS hot). I am used to riding in 92 degree weather now, but not 106 degree with 86% humidity! My asthma does not tolerate that.

I'm in south Louisiana and have to wait until at least seven in the evening to ride or I'm pretty sure I would just plain die. It's brutal!

It's coming this way. Tomorrow will be 102 they say. My bike is at the shop getting a new chain and cassette. Good timing.
