Forums >Running 101>Wilting in the heat like a sad flower
I've got a fever...
Oh boy do I know how you feel. I'm in N California...just north of Sacramento...aka HELL!! It was 104 here yesterday. I got out on my run by 6:45am to TRY and beat the heat. It was still in the 70's that early.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Hey, I lived in Roseville/Rocklin for 13 years! I've been watching your temps lately (Rocklin is still one of my weather widgets), and I'm not missing it much right now.
this is still the most awesome place to live. 1.5 hours from the snow, 1.5 hours from the ocean. Lakes, rivers and the best bike trail! I would miss it if we ever moved.
Hoping to Run Again :-(

I do feel your pain about being a little scared in a not-so-good neighborhood but feel reassured that scumbags generally aren't out at 6AM. It's the hardworking, honest people in the neighborhood and other runners up and about at 6AM.
Jazz hands!

I hate running in the cold, and complain to high heaven when it drops into the 60s.
Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

This makes me giggle. I'll take your sub-60s if you take our >80s.
Giggle? I'm surprised you aren't laughing more! And yes, I'll trade you! (I hate running when my throat gets sore from the cold... but I suppose it's just what you're used to. The runny nose bit, too - I'd rather be sweating from every pore than my nose running faster than I am.)
