The weather here in Central Florida is, to be gracious, oppressive. We've reached the humidity levels that just sit upon you . . . heavy and still. The temperatures have not been terrible. We've stayed in the high 80's and low 90's which is rather nice for this time of year, but the humidity is just plain ugly.
With humidity I get headaches. They start in my head and slow tense up my shoulders which makes my back ache. I took some ibuprofin yesterday and then tried to sleep it off last night but the stupid headache dully inhabited my dreams until I woke up at 6 . . . on my own.
Not knowing what else to do, I put my running clothes and shoes on, put the dog on a leash, and walked out the door (my daughter decided to spend the week with Nana while the other one is at camp). I walk/jogged about 3/4 of a mile. Not bad for the first time out in two weeks. And by the end of the walk through what felt like a hot sticky swamp (even at 6:30 AM), my headache was gone.
Hmmm . . .

Nice choice! I also find that running helps me to cut through head colds, at least temporarily--although you should never run if you have a fever (in case you were considering it).
