How hot was it?: Global warming? (can you say that in Florida?) Lack of sleep or hydration? How often do you normally go walking at 8 AM in the morning? I'm sorry, but without more details, it's hard to answer the question. Sweating when hot is a common reaction, but only if unacclimated. Use HealthTap Prime to discuss or talk to your doctor about what happenened, if it is concerning. Mean time, rest & drink H2O.
