    Just outside of Dallas.....Need to lose 30 pounds and this heat is killing me! During the weekends I can get up early and do my run/walk before it gets too hot! During the work week I am trying to git-er-done before dinner......I love being outside....but it is It's a sweat fest and misrable! Can't wait for fall and winter.....Promised myself that I would get out there for 60 days in a row....Only 56 more days to go (ha ha ha.)

    Hiya!

    Representing Arlington :P

    I too work-out outside. It's a pain; but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

    South Texas here, a little town that's close to nothing but little towns. About an hour north of Corpus Christi. Lived in Texas most of my life, been cussing the heat and humidity the whole time.

    I haven't had a chance to read through the whole thread . . . anybody else in S. Texas? Beeville? Skidmore?

    H-Town here and yes it's hot as HELL! People in other areas complain about the heat but here in Houston you start sweating the second you walk out the door. We needs some wind.

    North of Houston here! I live in small town and we don't have any big fancy gym's to go to. It makes me miss the big city (only a little). But I try to workout early before the heat or late, elsewise I keep my workouts in the house. :)

    Native Houstonian (more the Clear Lake area, but still)!

    I ran (or at least tried to run) my first 5K a couple weeks ago and now I remember why I'm so fond of my gym membership. Holy seventh level of hell, Batman! 90 degrees at 9am with 80 percent humidity is just ridiculous.

    Hi, I'm from Texas. I'm in San Antonio and I do feel your pain. Heat and then add three kids, a full time job, extra curricular activities such as flag football for my 8 year old, viola recitals for my 10 year old, my husband plays soft ball and I have a foster child that's 22 months old. Where exactly am I suppose to fit in exercise?

    Hmmm from Hot and Humid to Hot and Arid... But Hot none-the-less. I am native to Baytown (30 mi E. of Houston) and lived there all but 6 months of my childhood. I graduated from University of Houston, Univ. Park but live in SE Mississippi now. Still hot and humid here.... and our mosquitos are near about as large as the ones from Baytown so I feel right at home....

    I need some friends who can sympathize with the brutality of the heat and working out in it :)

    I'm stuck way up in Lubbock these days, but am a native Houstonian... How about y'all?

    Then, you are familiar with big old Tahoka. That's my home town. But, I live in the DFW area now.
