Rainy day

I realize that I am a little more stubborn, or hardcore or just an idiot, but it's a rainy day, and I'm going for a run in a few minutes. Many competitive runners or other athletes have a way of ignoring the weather, but I am hardly competitive at this stage.

None the less, it has always been my thought that if people can die from neglect in bad weather, if they can do things to make themselves in worse shape or more obese, then it seems fair to be able to do things that make you fitter. Which will you be doing today? Are you going to become a little bit of a better you today, or get just a little worse off? You can't really stay the same. The world is not a stagnant thing, and neither is your body. It is continuously building itself up and breaking itself down. It is building muscle or depositing fat.

If you want to be a better you, try to do something everyday. You don't have to run in the rain, or through a tornado, but if its your day to walk, and it's a little cool or wet or sunny, walk anyway. It will not only make you physically stronger, it will make you mentally stronger. It will make you a little more hardcore, a little more forthright, a little tenacious.

Whether you do something outside today, or inside, do something. Walk, run, ride a bike or just stretch. Do something.

Be active, be happy
