That's dangerous... right?
I mean, people were working on like no big deal, but it took an extra push to get me to start peddling. I almost left--twice!
They (some guy behind the counter who didn't seem 100 percent confident in his answer to my question: "Um, is the AC broken or something or is this normal?") say that they've got a contractor going in to fix the AC tomorrow, but that doesn't mean that it'll be working by the end of the day. In the interim, maybe they should invest in some shades to block out the sun that sears through the front windows all day long? Maybe invest in some more industrial fans.... It's just so hot. What if the AC isn't fixed tomorrow when I start my jog? What if I'm unable to complete it because I've passed out, smacked the console of the treadmill, hit the spinning tread (because I don't wear the emergency stop thingy), and then shoot off across the gym (or as far as 4 mph will propel me)?
Disaster.
I might have to switch gyms after such humiliation. Or sue for heat stroke.
Either way... I will attempt a jog tomorrow, even if the temperature is borderline gateway to hell.Even though I want to do nothing but sit in my car with all of the vents pointed at my and the AC at full blast.
If you couldn't tell, the heat is really taking a lot out of me. It's bursting my normally zen state. I feel so cranky... I want to bash things. Seriously, I want to Hulk smash the sun.
Another funny thing... I keep thinking "maybe when I lose this last 50 pounds, I won't mind the heat." Bullshit, Tanya. When it feels like your flesh is burning off it doesn't matter if you're a healthy weight or obese. The sun is unforgiving and it's only getting worse.
*wailing moan of despair*
All right, let me stop being a baby.
My mom keeps telling me that I should move to Alaska. Maybe I should. I definitely don't get cranky when I'm cold.

Hmm, I don't want to encourage skipping any of your runs but maybe you should try a day pass at another gym tomorrow where the AC is working or skip because it's so easy to get dehydrated in the heat, if you add running to it that's a recipe for disaster.
how bad is it outside during the early morning/evenings? Can you try and do a run around your block? would it be any cooler?
And yeah, if that happened you'd have to switch gyms, possibly change your hair style, but after you sue lol.
I'd have to wake up around 5am and even then it would still be pretty humid out there. So, yeah, no outside at this point.
The gym today was actually much cooler than yesterday, so I did my run at the gym. It was really difficult though (still hot). If the gym stays hot, I might have to look into day passes elsewhere.
