It's just so damn hot today, and the a/c's broke. I took my evening run, and it's been hot and humid all day. After showering, I didn't even bother with clothes and air dried. Now I'm laying in bed, listening to the pink noise off the street outside, with a fine layer of sweat on me, the heat throbbing in my neck, and I begin to wipe the sweat from my brow,...
I was 19. I was going into my second year of college. I was a late bloomer. I was starting to fill out. I worked out and lifted weights. I was quickly gaining confidence.

It was hot, around 90 degrees and very humid. John finished his five mile workout drenched in sweat, and after pausing for a few minutes to catch his breathe, he went to stretch with the rest of the team.
