We played pickleball on Wednesday in the humidity, so it wasn’t even an hour. Walked 18 yesterday in possibly the worst humidity I’ve ever played in; I had to wipe my hands off before every shot and putt. Super humid again today for the workout in the garage. Less than two weeks and we’ll be in the new house though!
