I had a big choice to make in July. With this heat every weekend I had to either get myself in better shape or stay home in this heat. Before I even think about heading to the shop I go for a morning walk. I’m now up to 2.5 miles a day and although not much I’m down 16 pounds since early July. I have a long ways to go weigh wise but the walking is making my endurance better for these long race weekends. They can take a toll on you.
