Feeling hot, hot, hot

It's hot here in Colorado. Like, 90 to 100-degrees-with-no-end-in-sight hot. Or, record-setting hot. 

For the fifth year since 2002, the Front Range is in the midst of a drought. Interestingly enough, my former home states of Iowa and Illinois have been flooding. Apparently, there is to be no balance ... but I digress. 

So, we've established that it's roasting here. 

All the better weather to train for Chicago's infamous 135 percent humidity. 

Yesterday, I walked 8 miles in the heat of the day. It topped out at 93. This is the forecast from ABC affiliates News Channel 13. You can see that today will be a refreshing 92 degrees. 

The seven-day forecast from our local ABC affiliate, News Channel 13. I chose this one because it's the best graphics. 

So, yes, the temperatures are scorching, but it's not like it's going to be any cooler in Chicago!

Here's wishing you health, a shady spot to unwind and a well-charged air conditioner.
