It has been hot again recently in the DC Metro area! If you're like us over here at CAIVIS, though, you can't always reschedule your exercise because of high temperatures. Take yesterday for example. Jacqueline and I had scheduled a 6 mile run for after work even though the weather was in the mid 90's and incredibly humid (as DC tends to get during the summer!). However, when CAIVIS running wants to go running, CAIVIS running will find a way to go running! Though Jacqueline and I both had good runs, we did so because we planned ahead and took precautions.
When exercising in the heat it is important to remember a few things:
-Bring water! Rehydrate early, often and in small amounts.
-Take it easy if you don't feel well. Listen to your body!
-Wear light, breathable fabrics.
-As always, warm-up and cool-down properly.
Happy running!
-Maureen
