I don't want to go out

[Summermelt]

I really don't want to go out.we have been at home since Friday. I really can't stand being out in the heat. But my children keep asking to go out. And I feel guilty for staying home. I don't drive so have to walk /public transport. So its not even like I can have air con. And the thought of walking I this heat feels awful. The heat has stolen any energy I did have. I did think cinema because I have vouchers plus I can go by train. But theres nothing on for their age its either to young ir to old.

Don't even know why im posting this, not like anyone can turn down the heat.

I went out for an evening walk, sat on the common about 11pm! It was empty and actually refreshing, the trees and grass were lovely. The rest of the time, I’m with you: don’t want to go out. It’s horrible.

I love summer evenings! I have been staying out so late recently.

it won't last long, its supposed to get cooler later on in the week.

And maybe that is fine for a super fit and healthy adult. But I think the suggestion that this is a ‘normal’ to people who do struggle in the heat could be quite dangerous, especially when young children are involved.

I'm not super fit, I plod through a couple of runs a week. The person who originally commented just said they went for a 10K run and it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be. Running in the heat is normal, we live near a lake which attracts runners and walkers and you will seem people running every day in all weathers and they are not all super fit. Like I said sensible adjustments keep it safe.

Massive difference between a leisurely run near a lake when the runner is able to choose going out early or late, to the poster who was saying it wasn’t that hot as she had run a charity 10k, ie a race. Normalising the ability to run a long distance race in 30° of heat isn’t helpful to someone who is struggling.

Uber?
