No OCN: Heat + Issues

OCN: Zip, zero, nada, nicht, etc.

There's the Rub

So a week has passed since that bad@$$ trainer ride, and I have some outside miles to speak of, 40 or so, but nothing else. Honestly there have been issues!

I have been suffering with the heat in preparation for upcoming events my wife and I are working hard to get some things done. Problems arise because by eleven in the morning the temps are already at 90 and above. Unfortunately, our current car/truck is not air-conditioned. Our cute little Saturn has run in to some trouble and we face the challenge of finding a company to work on it since GM decided to shut Saturn down and abscond with the plans for the nicer Saturn cars! Boo! Anyway, we have been getting overheated regularly. Read: on a daily basis. We have been walking quite a bit. So, yes! I'm losing a little, but I wanted to lose more while getting my bike shape/training back in line. Don't get me wrong, the walking has been fun! Hard, but fun! Our dog that loves scraps from Pop is way out of shape and last night when we added only one block to the routine she was not well. We are walking for all our sakes, but it is distressing to see one of us having so many issues. We have to increase our distance in one month to be able to do some regular walking in July. The issues that accompany over-heating are digestive/dehydrating. One cannot take chances in the heat. I learned my lesson last year when I started retching because of hyponatremia. Long story of how it happened, but no fun! Well, time to walk the daugz and check pMAIL!
