    In many cases, drinking ice cold water is actually UNHEALTHY for you. The temp shock is too much for the body, and could make you sick. Room temp water is the best choice.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      And drinking too much water can be just as bad as not enough. Had to break down yesterday at work and buy a Powerade, just to restore some electrolyte balance.

        Truth.

        I go through about 10 pints in a work shift, a little more in summer, a little less in winter. This will come across as odd, but it is science: pay attention to the color of your Number 1. That is a key to how hydrated you are.

            Clear is not good. Light shades. Light shades.

              I have a duathlon next week (run/bike/run), and I thought I would do a brick workout (bike ride followed by a run) today. The heat was bad on the bike, but I managed about 20 miles. Got off the bike, started running, and realized I wasn't going to make it the scheduled 5 miles. Did the smart thing and turned around about a half-mile in.

                93 with a dew point of 72 degrees equals a heat index of 102 up here. :/

                      We were supposed to hit around 90 for a high today, but I think the morning rain clouds stuck around longer than the forecasters expected because it was still about 70 when I stepped outside for lunch today.

                        10 inches of rain in Marshall, MN today. We had a 10 percent change of rain in Spicer, and it stormed from 1am- noon.

                        I’m sick of all the storms and rain.

                                Reached 93 in Milan today, then clouds rolled in. Dropped it down to about 75.
