I'll never forget
I'll never forget two-mile-a-day runs in Texas on 100+ days while in Law Enforcement tech school (only six of us in the entire class completed every single run).
Of course, it was a dry heat.
In Bakersfield, I had a massive amount of yard work to get done when we were preparing to try and sell our place. If I didn't get the work done by 9 a.m., it wasn't getting done that day ... temps reaching 108 every day.
That said, I could really do without the heat.
