Total Distance
8.00

8 miles as I ran south of town, around the neighborhoods near the golf course.  I haven't been out here in ages and it was good to mix things up a bit.

One thing I can't understand is people who warm up their cars in the morning when it's in the 40's.  I understand if it's in the 20's and snowing but not when it's 42 and blue skies.  Go figure.

I really don't understand people who warm up their cars while they are parked in the garage... Even if it's open there still is some serious toxic gas building up in there. How cold can it possibly be in the garage? But almost daily I see people doing it.

I don't get it. I see it all the time also. Again, I understand in Logan or Cedar or most of Utah in January. But come on! When I'm running outside in shorts, t-shirt and light gloves then there is no reason to 'warm up' your car for 10 minutes before driving to work!
