WEBVTT - Get out when it's good

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Good Morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Today's tip is to get out when it's good. When

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>the weather is particularly or unseasonably nice, take advantage of

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>these moments and go outside. Even a little fresh air

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 1>can feel fantastic. This episode is first airing in January.

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.839
<v Speaker 1>Where I live in the northeastern United States. It is

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>definitely winter, with all the cold and sleet and such

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that implies, but not every day is as miserable as that. Indeed,

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the day before I wrote this, the temperature got up

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>to sixty degrees fahrenheit. Much of the day was rainy,

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>but the forecast called for a lull in the afternoon,

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>so I made sure to go for a run during

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 1>that window. I move things around and finished some work

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>early so I could spend forty minutes outside enjoying the

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>not so cold air on my face and feeling like

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>it was April and not the dead of winter. Now,

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>to be sure, not every January day is going to

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>feature temperatures anywhere close to that warm, of course, but

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I do try to look at the weather forecast and

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>figure out when it will be warmest and not snowing

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>or sleeting during the week. Then I create my schedule

0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:45.759
<v Speaker 1>to run or walk during these windows. Running in two

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>frigid temperatures is no fun, but in more balmy times

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>it is a pleasure, and I want to take advantage

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:57.559
<v Speaker 1>of that. Incidentally, this works in the other direction with summer.

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 1>If it is a long string of hot, sticky days

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>in August, but one morning is going to be a

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>little cooler, that is my signal to go run or walk.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Then I'll enjoy a little respite from the heat. If

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.400
<v Speaker 1>you are dealing with really rainy weather, there might be

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 1>some moments when the rain is lighter or has stopped.

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>It is good to take advantage of those windows. In

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>any case, getting outside is a known mood booster, but

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>it is challenging to do so when the weather doesn't cooperate.

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>On some level. We might know that there is no

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 1>bad weather, only bad clothing, but that doesn't mean anyone

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>wants to walk outside in freezing rain. So instead, look

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 1>for those moments when things aren't going to be quite

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:55.920
<v Speaker 1>so bad, plan and advance for them. I visited my

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.440
<v Speaker 1>son's preschool on the unreasonably warm day recently and the

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.679
<v Speaker 1>teachers had planned to have snack outside. We all got

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>to absorb a little more pleasant January air before feeling

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>like we needed to hibernate for the next few months.

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 1>No doubt there will be at least a few more

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>moments of warmth before spring arrives, and you can bet

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.519
<v Speaker 1>I plan to make the most of them. In the meantime.

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.960
