]]>Summer Softball is a killer, especially in the hot Texas heat. We haven’t won any games yet, but were definitely having fun in the sun plus swim time after every game.
Losing isn’t too bad considering were in the ”just for fun” league, but it’d be nice to win.
Team picture from last weeks game….SCORCHER!
We played in 100 degree weather.
Tomorrow we have a double header so I’m ready to water log and hope for a victory 
For workouts of less than 1-1/2 hours, you should
- Drink about 16 ounces of cool or cold water 1 to 2 hours before you exercise.
- Drink about 16 ounces of cool water or a sports drink 15 minutes before you exercise.
- Drink about 5 ounces of cool water every 10 minutes during exercise.
- Have about 34 ounces of cool water on hand per hour.
- Drink about 16 ounces of cool or cold water or a sports drink just after exercise.
Other Pointers and Recommendations
- Wear loose-fitting clothing that will allow air to circulate but protect you from the sun.
- Avoid direct exposure to the sun. Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
- Drink cool water rather than cold water, because the body absorbs cool water faster.
- Do not drink juices or sodas during exercise, because these drinks contain more than 10% carbohydrates (sugar) and are not absorbed well during exercise. It is okay to drink sports drinks because they usually contain less than 8% carbohydrates, but these can lead to too many calories if you drink too much of them. When it comes to workouts lasting less that 1-1/2 hours, there is no difference between drinking sports drinks and cool water to stay hydrated. Sports drinks do replenish the salt and minerals lost through sweating, although a healthy diet is usually adequate for this
Do you enjoy indoor or outdoor summer activities?
