Ok, so today I walked 3.5 miles--WOW
(I've done it like 3 times before in my whole lofe... I hate exercise )

I walked 2.5 miles the day before yesterday (which I can handle), and then I did 3 yesterday (a bit harder but I didn't die), so I thought I'd "worked my way up"...

Well at about mile-marker 2.5, I started getting this weird "numb" feeling on the back of my head, my shoulders, down my back, and my arms. Tingly... Weird.

About a mile after that, I noticed some goosebumps on my arms.... But it was
90°F!

When we were done the walk and got in the car I realized that yes, I was actually feeling FREEZING COLD! What the heck???? My friend (who does this walk every single day for over a year and has lost 119lbs--go her!) said I was dehydrated and needed to keep drinking (not chugging but sipping) the water. But swear I had quite a bit of water before we went, and I drank water throughout the whole walk as well...

So was it dehydration? Or am I just a weirdo?? Oh wait nevermind, I know I'm a weirdo..

But really, what was this??

Were you sweaty? As sweat evaporates, it cools the skin. Happens to me quite a bit once I get good and sweaty.

I was sweaty, but not pouring buckets (I tend to pour buckets AFTER I stop moving.... So yeah then I got even colder haha)

Endorphins, baby!

I get that exact, EXACT same feeling-- it's like a rush, back of my head, shoulders, down my back and arms.

And I also get cold when I'm done as the sweat evaporates.

Keep it up.

Sorry but, it didn't feel good at all... In fact I was kinda sick :/

Someone on facebook gave me some links about heatstroke and thinks I was on the verge. Could be.

Don't worry, not giving up! Going again today... I dunno if I can do the whole 3.5 again tho, I got a HELLUVA blood blister on the pad of my left foot, and a HELLUVA regular blister on the right one--I'll go until I can't take anymore, tho!

on working out, and don't give up... But you really should not exercise outside when it's that hot and you're just starting... You should increase your workout distance by 10% weekly, you increased, I feel, a bit too much in just 2 days, you're body isn't used to exercise yet, much less exercise in heat...

I have had that goose bump feeling when I run, it was not a good feeling at all completely different that feeling coldish after a good workout because you are wet from sweat...

Hear are two good articles :

1. Goose Bumps when I sweat

2. How to avoid heat stress

Hmm. I learned something. I never realized that.
