Funny story...I asked where her husband was and she told me fishing. I said isn't it a little cold to be fishing? She said yes and asked what I was doing. Of course my response was riding my bike (as I stood there in my biking shorts)! Her response? Isn't it a little cold to be riding your bike? She made her point...
...however, I've been following another friends blog (La Belle Vie) and several weeks ago Lindsey made a very good point when it comes to getting outside in the cold to exercise. Whether one is riding or running you experience the sights, sounds and smells of nature that you just do not get in a vehicle. Lindsey made the observation that the cold air hitting her lungs felt so good! She's right...the cold air in my lungs, the smell of a wood stove burning and anticipating what the next mile would entail was such a great feeling!
