I give you permission…
Today is the first day in awhile in our lovely state where the temp is resonably cool. I could spend the whole day outside and be perfectly happy with it. I hope everyone gets outside to bike/run/rollerblade today, because it is the first day when i feel you aren’t flippin’ crazy!!
This past weekend we hit highs with the heat index that broke the 100 degree point. A few times we even broke 110. What did I see? People jogging!! I know people love to make sure NOTHING stands between them and their workout (no offense Erika :) ), but get serious. Give your body a break on those days. Running in that heat is NOT healthy. It puts undue strain on your heart and lungs. Work out inside at a gym or at home in your A/C.
Maybe it’s just because I thinkrunning is dumb in general. I can’t fault people for enjoying it, but I think punishing yourself like that is silly. Plus, I have bad knees. Only step aerobics for me…

But one of the reasons I like running is because I don’t have to go to the gym.
You’re gonna have to give me the same talk in six months when I’m out running in the frigid cold.
How about bicycling 70-80 miles in the weather. Piece of cake!
