Hot flashes and running

Hot flashes and running don't mix! There I was all ready to have a great workout and 6 minutes into the run *POOF!* thermonuclear blast from the inside. Skin on my face prickling. Heat trying to escape every pour of my body. Hair drenched. And it lasted throughout the first mile. I had it.

Switched to minute long sprint intervals for the next 21 minutes, then did some serious incline walking for an additional 20 minutes (up to 10%). Total workout time = 55 minutes
