So, like everyone else, I've recently decided I should exercise. For a couple of weeks I tried swimming, but it was blah and chlorine isn't really good for the hair, so I decided to try running instead. I started out going 3 days a week to the UMD gym, alternating a few laps jogging to one walking... But I got sick of spending ~1.5 hours, including

Greenbelt lake is nice when it's super hot on account of the shade... much better than Anacostia in that respect.

Plus it's not that hot at 7am anyway... I need to work up to 6 though. It's gorgeous and cool and totally pleasant.

I often see people doing Yoga, looking out over the lake in the nice cool morning... How awesome.

Yeah, swimming is high maintenance...It includes all that time for going to the gym, plus extra time for trying to wash the chlorine out of one's hair :<

Hooray for Greenbelt lake instead!

Actually, I don't tend to stretch when swimming, whereas I spend 10-20 minutes including before and after even when I'm doing pathetic jogging, plus I shower in both cases, so it generally comes out even.
