Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 21, 2018

I’m with you, Arlo.

My words, exactly!

Janis needs a couple Siberian Huskies to keep her company on these cold winter walks. They make you take them out or they’ll destroy your house. (A tired Husky is a good Husky.)

Don’t they live in Texas? The kind of cold they get, even in extreme, isn’t painful.

Arlo would not rather feel pain than nothing at all.

I first heard “No pain, no pain” several years ago on a Direct TV commercial that featured an incredibly rich Russian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0fa_BaljjQ

Each season in its turn, but yes, I prefer cold for exercising—the pain only lasts the first mile if you’re dressed correctly.

I walk twice a day for 1-1/2 miles each time. Used to walk in all kinds of weather, but now that I am old (76), I refuse to walk outside if it is below 20 degrees (F). I have had frostbite in my hands a couple of times and they are so sensitive to the cold now that no matter what I wear on them, they start to hurt after just a few minutes when it is below 20 degrees. So now I use a treadmill when it is too cold outside. Still get my walk in, and no pain!

Got the pain part down decades ago; when does the “gain” start?

When the urge to exercise hits, I just lay down until it goes away.

The new house needs a workout room…

I have a t-shirt that says “No pain, no pain.”

It’s from A&J King in Salem MA. Among other things, they bake French bread.

Here in New England last week, with temps in the single digits and snow narrowing the road ways, there were people running. I don’t get it

All depends on what kind of weather you are used to. Moved to South Texas from far north because no snow. After a few short years we got used to the 90 degree and above heat, but then when it got below 50 we thought it was freezing. This winter has been very cold. It even snowed, a first since we moved here

@KEYEGOODENOUGH Are you CRAZY?!?!? You have obviously never been to several areas in Texas. The temp can be in the teens and the wind chill can be even lower.

Interestingly, i read an article that if one feels pain while exercising, they exercised too much..
