What’s so new about telling people to get physically fit? P.E. teachers have been trying to pound the exercise syndrome into my head for years. I don’t like to run unless it’s early dawn, early evening or midnight. Running any other time in South Texas is like sticking your head into a very warm, muggy oven.
