Can it be the mindset?
I walk six miles a day (most days) and like doing it in the mid-afternoon. Fewer people and fewer carts to dodge on the MMP where I walk. I get offered lot of rides and bottles of water (which I always refuse, with thanks). I'm from the north too--just about as far north as you can be in the lower 48. I have absolutely no problem with the heat--actually love it. Beats the cold and the damp from UpNort that you can get even in the summer, and I don't miss having every joint feel like a rusty hinge as was all too often the case in Minnesota.
My wife thinks I'm crazy and she's from a tropical country herself.
