Warm Weather + Exercise + Darkness = Frogger

People must really get tired of heading to the local gym and going through their mundane routine in the winter months. Two days of abnormally warm weather in the Richmond area prove this point.

As soon as the mercury reaches 65, plus or minus a few degrees, man and sometimes his best friend hit the streets – in the dark.

Many of outdoor enthusiasts include reflectors or blinking lights on their garb. Others choose to roll the dice and go with the all black getup. That is a brilliant move when jogging towards oncoming traffic.

The best move of the night usually comes when there is a small mountain range of leaves or numerous parked cars on the street, causing the health-conscious individual to jet further out into the road.

Luckily with rain and cooler temps on the horizon, next week’s commute home from the office shouldn’t turn into a game of Frogger.
