The weather is fantastic. Spring really has sprung. I have gone outside to jog twice this week. It is so much harder than on the treadmill, though. Whether it is because of the hills surrounding our home, or because the treadmill propels your body forward so you don't have to, it is more work but so much more pleasant.
March is National Nutrition month and there have been a few related research studies released which I find interesting.

Another Harvard study showed that a brisk one-hour daily walk reduced the genetic influences toward obesity, as measured by BMI, by half. On the other hand, leading a sedentary life as measured by watching TV for four hours a day, increased the genetic influence towards obesity by half.
