A coalition of the pandemic crisis and a unfriendly work schedule has conspired to keep me out of the sun so far this summer. This has left me even more pale than normal, if such things can be believed.

I have been doing my exercise at night running on some of the park trails nearby that are well-lit and largely anti-mask protestor free at that time.

However, the heat wave this last week was so intense that it was still well into the 90s (35 ish in celsius) even after sunset. This called for a return to my nighttime swim brief adventures that have not been held since I lived in South America.

I pulled some images from me stretching with my new running outfit: sneakers, minimal swim brief, and a cloth face mask.

Only saw one other runner in the heat all week who was wearing extremely small running shorts and no shirt, which was quite daring but I think quite a bit less so than I was.
