Beach Weather

The current beach weather is perfect for jogging--you want to keep moving to stay warm if you’re dressed in shorts and T-shirt. I’ve lost 10 pounds this summer jogging at the beach, including a lot of running down the Venice boardwalk where you can actually move without bumping into shoulder-to-shoulder people (as in warmer weather).

I sympathize with the beach merchants who have lost business this summer. I’m an unemployed teacher, so I know what it’s like to be short of money.

The crowds are gone, the stores are open, the weather’s great for exercising, the air is fresh, the parking’s available. See you at the beach!
