People would be happier if more of them went outside. In New York, more people do go outside, in the sense that they have to walk to the train. That's good: that's more than the South, where it seemed like you went from interior to interior, with barely a step in non temperature-regulated environments.
But a short walk to the train, when you're rushing, is not what I mean. People should really go outside! Spend an hour wandering, or spend a couple of hours on some focused activity. Whatever. But we'd see a lot more smiles in New York if people did this.
I guarantee it.
Even when it's awful weather, you end up getting a smile because you're proud you went out. It's win-win.
That's what I was thinking about as I went for a slow run with fun people on an overcast early morning.
And I was smiling.

I feel bad for all the people who are stuck on the treadmill all winter and don't realize how much happier they'd be if they just would run outside. It is really good to get out there, even if just for an hour a day.
ReplyDeleteTotally. Even when it's awful outside, there's something spirit-lifting about going out there - either the smugness of thinking that you braved the wind/cold/etc., or the happiness from a glimpse of sunshine, or whatever.
