We are in the thick of it here! Hot summer running is at its peak and it’s downright sweaty. Call it heat exhaustion or just runners being crazy runners. I’ve had some funny and crazy thoughts pop into my mind on some of these recent intensely hot runs. Popping in for a Fast Friday Fun to make you smile.
Crazy thoughts running through my mind on summer runs
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a water stop around the corner? A water stop with snacks and people cheering me on. People cheering me on with signs and medals as I finish. I deserve a medal for this. Yes, like a race. Oh, yes, I should sign up for another race.
Have I ever been this gross and smelly and sweaty? Oh yes, yesterday.
This must be what it’s like to run on the surface of the sun. I must be insane. Seriously, I need a new hobby. What is wrong with me? I can’t wait to run again tomorrow.
Ooh, I wish everyone could magically turn on their sprinklers just as I run by. That would be fantastic!
Let’s start a petition to have Strava and Garmin count summer miles as double. That is totally legit. Who can we talk to about that to make it happen?
Those are just a few of the crazy thoughts running through my mind during a hot summer run. What’s on your mind? Are you in a heat-induced running insanity state?

I’ve had some crazy thoughts, too. Just this morning, there was an abandoned scooter out in the middle of walking trail, by the college’s rugby field…did this person just decide they were finished riding and wanted to walk instead? Did aliens abduct them? As mentioned (via Insta), I really wish the drinking fountains would get turned on…but with summer winding down, I doubt that’ll happen in 2021.
I also have wondered why people abandon the scooters seemingly in the middle of nowhere! Where do they go? lol
Ha ha… Bikram running. That’s what it is, all right! it’s so hot and steamy here, and will be for a couple more months. SIGH!
yes it seems to be hanging around for sure!
It’s always so much fun taking a peek into what other people are thinking about when they run! Thanks for sharing, Deborah. Winter is coming. 🙂 Seriously, the first tree in our neighborhood to turn has already started turning!
I so much prefer winter running. You will never hear me complain about the cold
Love your crazy thoughts. I think I’ve had them all too.
On Wed, I said to myself…Oh I wish it would rain. Guess what? It did. I got soaked and of course, I wanted it to stop. And it did. Then I regretted my wish.
Ha be careful what you wish for right?!
Ha! My thoughts are usually in line with “OMG, what was I thinking? Why do I keep doing this?”
But snacks would be nice, too.
ha yes they would!
