I&#39;ll pass on that. The person who takes our exercise classes is doing a thing called The Tough Mudder Challenge. I ask myself &quot;why?&quot;. <br /><br />Charity reasons are good.

The track was busy. Everyone goes out on sunny days here. <br /><br />All of us have walking poles, first aid kits. Don&#39;t need personal protection where we are. <br /><br />We wear broad brimmed hats. Full sunscreen on all exposed skin - even faces. I would not walk with full arms covered because of the risk of overheating which is high. There was no sunburn on my face. The sunburn settled overnight and no pain now. <br /><br />We don&#39;t walk in shorts and singlets and no hats. This is Australia and everyone is educated from birth in regards to sun. The three others are die hard camping and bushwalking girls. And I am a sensible person.Linda and her Twaddlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05392205573326695683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21796630.post-54617679174992555572012-01-23T01:56:25.679+11:002012-01-23T01:56:25.679+11:0097 degrees is very hot outside. It is something we try to avoid here in Florida except when absolutely necessary, like for instance, going golfing! Seriously, we always go early to avoid the high heat.<br /><br />I was wondering...<br />Do you use the walking poles?<br />Do you carry first aid kits?<br />Do you carry anything for personal protection?<br /><br />As an ancient former boy scout, one must be prepared.<br /><br />A tip for the sun...<br />All the grass cutting crews I see working and the crews putting on new roofs all wear long sleeves, long pants and ball caps which have flaps that protect the neck from the sun.<br />Yes, they get hot and stinky but not sunburn. Use the sunscreen for the face and you should feel much better next time.<br />A bit of unwanted advice, I know.<br /><br />April is racing up to you isn&#39;t it!R.
