We have been trying 2 walks a day morning and late evening to avoid the 100f temps. I'm sure a week from now I'll miss the heat. But I have a new sleep strategy - an evening walk at a more leisurely pace, followed by a warm shower, has improved my usually awful sleep pattern. When I get home, I'll have a willing partner for the evenings - neither my daughter nor I enjoy TV, and get fidgety after supper, so we'll have a nice stroll - might even offer to take the neighbor's sometimes fussy 10 mo old to give her a break.

Like your plan, Sue. Good times of day for our hot, humid areas. Sometimes.....the mornings here get warm and humid pretty early, but late evenings this time of year are lovely. I love early morning, but can't physically do it anymore. I was up by or before 5 every morning for years when my son was young and going off to school, I was heading to work, etc. But, the last 10+ years the mornings are really tough. The body goes into fearce rebellion, won't function! Stubborn body and that's just the way it is. So, I now enjoy the sleeping in later with my kitty.
You know, Tuesday I took my son to Mayo for his vaccination. I took my hot pink walker and walked the buildings for my walk, stopped on the way back to meet him and got yogurt parfaits for my breakfast for 2 days, some green tea for going home and a couple of chicken salad scoops for dinner. Love those Mayo food stops. They have excellent foods for what they are. Appreciated by this patient....
Blessing on your walks....when do you head to snow country? Reset your thermostat, I suppose. elizabeth
