Brain training

Well, I hate the heat as well. But I am not saying that I CAN'T run in it. I just don't enjoy it much and I know that I do struggle with it. And I don't enjoy the heat ANYTIME - even when I am not running.

But I love to run in the cold. I love to sleep in a cold room. I wake up feeling nauseous if I have to sleep in a room that is very warm. When we were on the bus going to Washington, the other girls in the back were freezing, and I found it comfortable.

So is it not possible that some people just tolerate either heat or cold better than others? If individuals can be more susceptible to things like different allergens, viruses, headaches, etc., is it not possible that different bodies will react differently to the heat and the cold? For instance, I don't seem to feel the cold like other people do -- when it is cold I can run in a long sleeve and my jacket, while other people need to have three layers under their jackets. My mother always said that people who are "warm blooded" have better circulation, but I don't know if that is just a myth.

I understand that you can try to be more positive mentally to have a better result or a happier experience while running under the conditions that you struggle with, but I don't know that my mind can totally convince my body that I like the heat.
