My faithful reporters in Cache Valley tell me that it has been very cold, with some snow more recently, and good air. The air here in the Valley of the Sun looks pretty good, but looks can be deceiving. We are not perched--as we are at home--in a position to see the inversions. Today the forecast is for moderate air quality.
Yesterday was the first workout day at the new place (LA Fitness). They have several of everything so there was no problem getting in a good workout. Notably, their equipment is all of the Nautilus variety, that is, weight bars and pulley systems. The problem with such systems is that once one starts the weights moving in a particular direction the actual weight being lifted reduces due to inertia. (My physics friends can tell me what this should be.) I realized how fortunate we are at Aqua Werks in CV to have the compressed air systems that keep the resistance of the chosen weight the same through the arc of movement. But, mustn't be picky. Silver Sneakers (can you say Medicare?) pays for it. (I wonder how long that will last?) So I am very happy to have such a place within a few miles.
The only reason I bring this up is to say that I dressed to work out in shorts and a Tee with just a thin fleece to get from the car to the building. By the time the work out was finished the fleece was unnecessary. I stayed in the shorts, Tee and sneakers for the rest of the day. I was fully reminded why we come here each winter. Today it is supposed to be 73.
Happy days..
