Preparing for Winter Runs

Today I, a former Florida girl, ran in the coldest weather I have run in yet. I was tempted to skip because of the horrid chilliness combined with rain, but I knew if I was to keep up a running program I would have to get used to running in this type of weather. As motivation, I ran to a shopping plaza to look for winter athletic apparel. Success!

The Other Kind of Heat

The Land of Two Million Saunas

Dry heat. Doesn't that almost sound appealing just now? Our friends at Apartment Therapy D.C. took a tour of the Finnish embassy, and here's the shocking takeaway: "In Finland, there are 2.5 million saunas for 5 million people...." Now, that's a people in touch with their sweat glands -- and we approve fully. Turns out shoe-horning a sauna in your basement or utility closet is entirely do-able, an affordable indulgence. File that away for winter....
