Yesterday morning I took my 40-minute walk. According to weather.com, it was 85 degrees and felt like 88 degrees. I decided, therefore, I would survive, especially since the humidity was low.
I got through the walk fine. In fact, I felt well enough afterward to tackle some yard work. But after a couple hours of raking and pruning, I decided I needed to go inside. And that's when it hit me. I felt weak and achy, and was perspiring profusely. It was several hours before I no longer felt warm, and I was incredibly tired the rest of the day.
I now understand how a person can be overcome with heat. My advice is to take all heat warnings seriously. I know I will from now on.
