Fair Weather Running

Today I went running on the Montour Trail. It was good running weather - 36 degrees, cool and cloudy. I had planned on running 20 but because I had a pretty hard run yesterday and tomorrow I promised my wife I would run with her, I decided to just to 16. On the weekend, the trail is usually full of people. There are people running, people walking dogs, and of course people on bikes. It amazes me the number of people who only exercise when the temperature is above 70 degrees. The best running weather - at least for me - is when it is between 30 and 40 degrees. Today I had run 12 miles before I saw the first person and another two miles after that before I saw the next. Fair weather runners don't know what they are missing
