Normally I’m the kind of person that would love going on hikes.
In fact I’ve always considered myself to be a very active individual, however if there is one mistake I made it was choosing the wrong day to take a hike.
For the past week or so I had been watching the temperatures outside closely, we were right in the middle of the summer months and all of those temperatures outside had just been too hot to even think about taking a hike. When I go hiking, I don’t like to just take a hike and walk a small area, I like to walk at least a mile or so. I love traveling by foot. There’s something very comforting about being out in nature and just enjoying the scenery. After a week had passed the temperature still hadn’t gotten much better and so I decided to take a risk and I looked at the temperatures outside and they showed that it was 90 degrees out, now this is when my rational mind should have kicked in and told me that it was a terrible idea to go outside and take a hike anyways but my desire to go outside and get into nature overruled my logical mind and I thought to myself well how bad could it be? Well let me just say this, after over an hour of being stuck in the sun without hardly any shade at all, my skin was as red as a lobster! It was stinging and burning from the horrible sunburn then I had obtained from going outside. One of the main things that helped cool my stinging skin, was surprisingly my air conditioning system. I went straight over to my thermostat and put my AC unit on blast to cool the burn. I would lie under my AC directly underneath the air vent for hours to help the pain go away. That and some sunburn medicine really helped me heal and I’ve learned my lesson. I’m never going outside in the summer heat like that again.
