I'm so glad I never started smoking. One less thing to give up and it's so expensive now. I took up running a few years back as my live is pretty sedentary. I know it's not for everyone, but getting out there is nice. If you are going walking then I can recommend finding some podcasts you enjoy. They help pass the time and you may even want to extend the walk to finish a show.
Stay well.
I saw you were out running in sub-zero weather. You are a mad-man, but much respect! When I was a young soldier I was stationed in Upstate New York and we'd go running every morning even in blizzards. I do not miss that at all :)
Well negative Fahrenheit would be a lot colder. It's not too bad when it's around freezing if you look out for ice. If it were rain/sleet/snowing then I'd probably stay in.
Ahh gotcha, I made the American-centric mistake of reading that as "Freedom Units" (Fahrenheit)
Though that's also a bit ironic since most of us probably can't spell "Fahrenheit" correctly.
I've come back from some of those winter runs before with icicles on my eyebrows before, I don't miss it in the least.
"Freedom units"! LOL
I'd love to be able to run again to be honest, felt so great when I was at my best after military training, but unfortunately that's where I picked up smoking as well. 😅
I'd have to lose a lot of weight for my shins to handle me running again, but maybe that's a nice goal to set for 2025, although I'd hate to have to run out here in this hot climate.
Have to do what your body can manage and not make things worse. Walking is good too. I like just seeing what is going on around the area. It's freezing here, so I need to run to warm up :)
