The other day, after P90X-ing in the wee hours, I went for a hike with my buddy. I thought I’d be fine, and that I could handle it. Boy was I wrong.

 

I had done too much, and my body sort of shut down. Just after the hike, all my joints started aching, as if I had the flu. Then I couldn’t stay awake. Around noon, I realized I might actually fall asleep – mid-step – and so I allowed myself to collapse into a nap. That 40 minutes of sleep didn’t quite undo the morning’s damage, but it sure did help.

 

If you’re exercising in this crazy heat, please be careful. Hydrate like crazy and don’t overdo it. Trust me. I know of what I speak.
