Hot, Hot, Hot

Ole ole - ole ole / Ole ole - ole oleOle ole - ole ole / Ole ole - ole ole

C'mon...sing it with me. Feeling hot, hot, hot, hot. Welcome to summer. We had a few weeks of some actual Spring-like weather and then Mother Nature decided to flip the switch and send the temps a'rising.

Hydration is especially important when the mercury hits the 99º mark. Make sure you're giving your body the fluids it needs. Drink up! But summer weather also means I'm thinking about water in a different way: a reward. Oh yeeeaaah, what could be nicer than jumping into a pool full of cool water after a long, hot day?

Swimming is a great summer cross training idea. You can brave the chill to swim laps at Barton Springs or use on of the many city pools. Just hold on to the edge and do flutter kicks to your heart's content. Why not dangle the carrot of going tubing with friends in front of you as a reward for sticking to your fitness program?

Summer's here! Let's enjoy it. You're working hard at camp. You're busting it at work to pay the bills that just keep showing up in the mailbox. Take some time out for fun in the sun and water. Don't forget the sunscreen!

"Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air."
