I went for my usual early morning run on January 1st and was pleased to see quite a few visibly out of shape people puffing their way around the lake. (Usually, there are zero of them.) Today, all of 5 days later, I went for another run on the same course at the same time, and things are back to normal: not a single one. Looks like Sweaty January didn't last even a week for them, and this despite running not even costing anything.

> was pleased to see quite a few visibly out of shape people puffing their way around the lake I'm never pleased to see these people when out walking as they almost invariably have very poor running form and, if they persist, will do damage to themselves. Jogging is a really poor way of 'getting back into shape' if you're not already in shape, and didn't build up good running technique in your teenage or early adult years.
