While the weather is in transition from summer to winter, it can be pretty unpredictable comfort-wise. Gothamist is training for the NYC Marathon and now is the time we begin to wonder whether we should wear shorts or long pants, t-shirt or longsleeve, and hat or no hat for when we venture outside for our runs.
Lucky for us, we have discovered a convenient tool on weather.com titled Current Fitness Weather. It gives us the current temperature, "feels like" temperature and other basics. But it also provides, the amount of daylight remaining in the day, a "What To Wear Today" section (today it says long pants), and an hourly fitness comfort index forecast with ratings from 1-10.
Despite the suggestion, we will still run in our shorts today but it is a convenient set of information to prepare you for your run, bike, walk, or trip to Magnolia for cupcakes.

This could end up being good excuse for people to avoid their exercise routine. "Ahh. the comfort index doesn't look good. I'll go running tomorrow."
Toss me a cupcake.
Magnolia cupcakes rock...perfect for birthdays. :)
Why don't you write more about your marathon training? There are many of us out here training, and many marathons are happening right around now in our area! Atlantic City, NYCM, etc. Some of us know there is more to life than sitting in front of a screen all day, and we could use some posts about taper madness, mpw buildup and post-marathon blues.
Well, a little late replying to this. I've been sick and well... running alot. But actually, i do write about this at http://justrunit.com
I searched the web for normal-people blogs on training for the marathon and didn't find much. i wanted a site that didn't just talk about VO2 max and negative splits, but that also talked about the effects of going out on a bender bachelor party 2 nights before the first big training run, or the constant fear of injury after coming so far. That's what I tried to create.
I didn't manage to be quite as diligent as i wanted to but i think i provided a good starting point anyway. So check it out at http://justrunit.com - I'm still training, still acheing and paining, still freaking out, and still loving every minute of it.
