Do you Run?……Walk?….Bike?…..Swim?…..yoga?…..lift weights? What’s your workout plan?

I did 34 miles this morning. Only a few more miles than I have been doing recently, but more climbing on this route.

I drank about six glasses of water before I started. Air temperature increased from about 73F to 83F during the ride.

Still not much sweating. Kind of mysterious.

Unless there's some sort of underlying health issue, I'm jealous. Even when I was skinny I always sweated a bunch in the summer.

Take a 10 minute hot as you can stand shower before you go. See what that does. You can always join me in hot Vinyasa. You’ll definitely sweat it out there

Ok, so Zoners are used to me, but I really have held off on making this observation, I promise. Apologies in advance:

When you’re well-hydrated, your urine is very pale yellow, almost colorless. If it’s more of a gold or even darker color, you’re probably low on fluids (even though you might have recently drunk a lot of water.) So one thing to look at (you, not me.)

You might want to take your temperature before and after exercise. Sweating is meant to keep your internal temp controlled.

Has this always happened on long rides? Are you riding so dang fast that the wind dries the sweat as soon as it appears?

There are some medications and illnesses/ conditions that can cause this. Maybe bring it up next time you see your doc?

I will return to my current murder mystery. (book, that is)

Previous years I sweated a lot more, too. I don't mind sweating, except when it starts running in your eyes, which is very annoying.

I'm certainly not riding that fast. LOL.

I do sweat some. I sweat some during fast walks. I've gotten pretty sweaty mowing. I don't think it's a serious issue, just weird.

Now that I think about it, the drug I started taking earlier this year, Rinvoq, had a weird side effect in that it gave me night sweats for a couple months. But that seems like the opposite of the reduced sweating I have now.

Who can say?

 

[Orangeslice13]

I’m rolling along and about the 2-1/2 mile mark my body says “nope”
@Velo Vol sweating my ass off though

 

[TBrown]

24 miles on the bike yesterday
3 mile jog this morning
9 miles coming up Friday

Not fun plowing through a random summer illness but the bike is much easier to manage than the pavement

 

[Hunter10139]

Still can't lift due to lingering shingles pain in my shoulder/trap but I can still run. Week 5 of c25k done with today culminating in 20 straight minutes of running (or maybe jogging, I'm not sure where the line is between them).

Red is afflicted with the same issue.
I’m reminded of Dolly Parton line in move the best little whore house in Texas.
“If I did jumping jacks I’d black both my eyes”

I highly recommend Natori for Red if she is a runner.

I highly recommend Natori for Red if she is a runner.

She’s moved on from running. Hurts her hips and knees. I believe that’s what she is using though. She’s doing yoga and Barr 5-6 times a week.
And the end of hot vinyasa on Saturday I’m trying not to die and she’s still as gracefully flowing through the poses like we were just getting started.

30 miles last eve.

I was in the midst of my cycling activity, near the Town of Farragut line, when a several motorcyclists passed me. Not proper motorcycles, but the smaller-sized ones. Most of the riders looked like teenagers.

One, who looked older, ended up in the back, and slowed down in the median lane. I thought he might be a "leader," waiting for the last rider of something. But no, he then went to the other side of the lane, over the curve, and onto the grass.

As I approached, he said, "Do you want a push?" I'm not sure, but he might have been serious.

(I was going up a minor hill, NBD.)

I shook my head no, and kept motoring on. He waved back as he passed me.

I’ll never fault “goofy but kind”!

Turns out random summer illness was Covid. Been a rough 2 days

So….the heated vinyasa instructor….or as I normally call her “Tracy, the hot yoga teacher “ has learned mine and Reds names. We both were treated with a hug and she used or names when she did it.

Red once again killed it. I fell out for about 30 seconds during the final flow but got back in. I tend to go for it most of class and either barely make it at the end or take little breaks to cross the finish line. Sara the back up instructor who walks around is never too far away from me at the end of class….. I’m assuming that is because she might need to do CPR on me.

Is "hot" modifying her? The yoga? Or both?

It’s hot yoga.
She teaches it.
It is she who modifies the yoga and tries to kill me while talking about peace and tranquility.


Red and I like her very much.

The high humidity sapped my energy. It was a sweaty affair.

I feel ya! Wife got it first and thought it was just allergies, then toddler and an ER trip with 105 temp and as always me last. It was an awful 3-4 days having the whole house down.

I don’t think I have exercised any in 2 weeks. But we also move tom, so been busy

 

[TBrown]

First marathon training run post covid/in over a week. Body felt great. Breathing..not so much. Like using a straw
