How to manage Summer?

[Mummy76]

How do you handle the heat in the summer?  We had our first really nice day here and I overheated and my vision in one eye got all blurry until I cooled down again.  This is the first time I've been affected by summer heat so I'm just wondering if there are any tricks to surviving and still enjoying the summer?

I love the idea of freezing my hat!

I think the most important thing for summer is respecting your limitations. The heat, and more so the humidity, summer brings changes my limitations.

I no longer try and cowboy up on hot days. It's much better for all if I stay in the AC'd comfort of my apartment :-)

I do activities early in the morning. I wear a cooling vest in the heat of the day I freeze a baseball cap as well. I have a handicap tag so I can park close to businesses.
