I still walk. But it is more prep time when it is so hot. We wear wet T-shirts (both the doggies and myself) my fanny pack has turned into a shopping bag and now includes poop bags, a frozen bottle of water, a wet wash cloth in a zip lock bag, two bottles of water, a foldable water bowl, cell phone, and pepper spray. We avoid the hot pavement, and stick to more shady side of the park. Clip on bug repellent does help if you are walking by a lake like we do. I admit we are only going about 1/2 as far as usual. We ( me lol) can't take 2 miles in the heat twice a day !
