It was time to put our SUV into the shop for general maintenance, so my wife and I took advantage of the short trip by walking from the repair shop to Chick-fil-a and then back home – a total of 3.02 miles.
We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast during our initial visit to our neighborhood’s brand new Chick-fil-a. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the dining room was spotless.
By the time we had arrived home, the temperature was at 88F and rising. With the full sun beating down on us as we walked along the sidewalks and on the asphalt parking lot, it felt much hotter that it was. I believe the heat index was right around 96 degrees F.
We basically walked the same pace throughout the three miles, yet my heart rate increased steadily because the outside temperature kept rising. This also happens when I’m cycling.
But wait, folks! We may get some temperature relief if that tropical storm way out in the Atlantic Ocean turns into a hurricane and then heads our way.
That kind of relief we can do without!
