Eh, as long as you keep it to a few minutes (a few being maybe 20) a day, it's not a big deal.
Congrats on the weight loss. Keep it up! I lost 20 lbs last Fall and I feel amazing. I've also improved my tennis game just by being lighter. The same guys I was evenly matched with last year I beat steadily this year.
Even up in Oregon, the rain shouldn't stop ...[text shortened]... walking is unpleasant and even then, waiting until 10 or 11 at night usually makes it bearable.
I take that back, those little compact umbrellas that fit into a coat pocket can come in handy sometimes... unexpected downpours can happen in spite of what the weather report says. I tried that for awhile, but they always get ruined in a high wind.
