Acclimation Station

I run really bad when its hot and since it turns out that global warming is not a myth after all, I am trying to speed up the acclimatization process this year by dressing warm and being really uncomfortable for a while.  Hopefully this will eventually make high temperatures seem cooler.  So far I haven't noticed anything but I guess it takes a while to start noticing the effects.


I have, however, learned not to acclimatize while sleeping.  I went to bed on a hot night wearing a full sweat suit and woke up drenched and disgusting.  


I also learned that steam rooms are like hell.  Today me and Katie tried out a steam room and we almost suffocated to death within the first minute and had to leave for the sauna.  They put oils in the steam for your skin or something but the only thing we noticed was the feeling of breathing in poison and a burning sensation deep in the lungs.  When more steam started pouring out of some vents near the floor it was way too much like being gassed so we escaped.  In the sauna we met a lady who said your immune system gets boosted by being in there.  She said she goes in every day for 20-30 minutes and almost never gets sick.  While, I usually go in for zero minutes and I almost never get sick either!  HA!  Take that lady!  She was super nice.


Here is a makeshift steam room for your home:
