I love summer. This comes at no surprise to anyone who knows me. I love the heat and humidity. I cannot get enough. Gimme more gimme gimme gimme more.

Work is crazy busy, but that’s nothing new. Today I had back to back calls all day with only a tiny window for lunch.

I finally got a break at the peak of the SW Indiana heat and humidity. I needed to walk. I needed to sweat out the toxins from my day and all the negativity.

I wasted no time and jumped out the door. The 96 degrees hit me like a wall, but I love it.

I could tell my pace was slower, but my spirit was strong.

A million thoughts always go through my head when I’m out there: recap of my calls, what do I need to do tomorrow, what am I going to cook for supper, does my shadow make me look fat…. The last thought is true. I get a delirious in the heat. Ha

I love this heat. I do.

I’ve been traveling a lot lately, some work and some pleasure. I really need to write about my pleasure experiences as I feel I reached an epiphany on my last trip. I still feel changed from it. That may be my next blog.

I need to get those done as my blog is no longer an automatic renewal. I believe it ends in September. I kept writing as I was getting a ‘sign’. If I wrote what my sign was, folks would think I have a screw loose, or my sign may never show again. I do know the last couple blogs didn’t get that sign so I feel the time has come to end in September.

But back to my blog for today.

I passed a bug guy during my walk. He laughed and said he is paid to be outside and I’m out voluntarily. He said I was crazy. I laughed and told him I loved the heat. He said, “I take it back; you’re not crazy, you’re a monster.” It made me laugh really hard and made my day. I thanked him and carried on.

I love this weather. Gimme more.

I know summer doesn’t last forever and winter will be here before you know it. I plan to take advantage as often as I can. I don’t want to miss any moments to get outside.

My walk today was slower than normal. Two minutes to be exact. I still time each walk like I did all my runs. I pretend I’m still a runner, even if only in my mind.

I was still smiling proudly at the end of my walk. And don’t look too unfazed from the first picture.

I promise they were taking at beginning and end. The picture is proof I do love this weather, and maybe I am a monster.

There truly is something detoxifying when I workout. I feel so much better. I leave all my negativity on the road and come home refreshed.

Gimme more!!!!

Until next time, peace out, trouts.
