    I'm in Pearland just outside of Houston. The heat here is killer in the summer. I usually walk late in the evening to stay cool and keep my dog from falling out. I would do it in the morning but I already get up at 4:00.

    Coachblt makes some good points about our great state and the pride Texans feel about it. It's just who we are!

    HI!!! I definitely understand what you are going through. I'm in the Central Texas Area (Killeen/Fort Hood) but am moving to San Antonio in the coming months. The humidity is brutal down there.

    Hi! I'm Jordan and feel your pain, I live in midland! I used to live in Houston and Corpus Christi so I feel your pain! Even though it's hard I find that the earlier I run the better! Luckily the last few mornings have been bearable. Oh and for people who Live iin Corpus I lived their for 16 years, it's a lot easier running in the evening!!!

    Many many things make our state great. We were our own country! We have gorgeous hill country and wildflowers, mountains out west, and beaches. We have great steak, seafood, and wine. Our Mexican food is second to none.

    Been in Houston area 13 yrs, but I am not a native. I married one instead :-) I am from the wonderfully beautiful Pacific Northwest. Washington state to be exact. The 1st couple of years here in TX was murder due to the humidty. I always felt like I was breathing through a wet washcloth. I ended up cutting all my hair off to avoid the heat, since it was easier than always having it up.

    Now I work out in the pool when the weather gets too hot. You can burn a lot of calories treading water, casually swimming laps or running in the water. You can also do toning exercises; the water resistance is a sneaky way of working out without realizing it. Bonus for the effort, you never get sweaty! I actually miss it during the winter.

    Other options include being inside when it is to hot and working out with the WII. Best invention ever as far as I am concerned to remove the boring part of working out. Plenty of variety and you can do it with the kids. I have learned how to do yoga, golf, and even tennis. Nothing like a contest to get the activity level up.

    I may not be from Texas, but I now live in El Paso! I can relate to the heat. My biggest trouble tho is when I am gone all day (SAHM); I haven't figured out how to eat healthy without worrying about food getting spoiled in the car!
