For any one questioning it. Get your fat ass out and run In 100 degree heat. L

Back a few years ago I would run up hills at 4pm (worst part of the day heat wise) when the heat index was 105+. The last time I did so, I had to stop just short of the hill because my head was pounding, felt sick to my stomach, cold sweats, and thought my heart was going to explode....never again. It's 100+ here today and I thought about trying it again, but I will pass

I just ran 3 miles and the heat index is roughly 100+. i've done it a few times this week...not terrible. but my clothes are wet for hours after...have to put them back out on the patio to dry.

You aren’t forced to do it. You can choose it. Sure as shit these horses wouldn’t choose to do 100+ heat
