Hey Trail Dogs,
Time for some heat training. Good day to start building up your tolerance to Summer temps. Ya know, learn how to sweat. As if you didn’t know that already. You should be hydrating all day. Rermember, the more you hydrate, the more you have to pee. The more you have to pee, the better the excuse to excuse yourself from a boring meeting or awkward hallway conversations with your co-workers. It’s a fool-proof excuse. “Yeah, I’d like to go over my status, Boss, but I gotta pee! Bye-ya!” Works every time. I did it for years!
Truly, though, heat is nothing to mess with. Don’t push. There’s nothing wrong with going a little slower.
