It's finally getting cooler here in southern Iraq and cool enough to run at noon. This is the most convenient time to run and and if it's not too hot, I try to get out there. Unfortunately it's still over 100 and can be exhausting just to run a few miles. It supposed to be good for you so I do it. Oddly enough Iraq has been very good (heathwise.) I have no allergy problems here and haven't been sick once. So maybe there ARE some good theraputic benefits to the depleted U238 dust in the air here! And no, there aren't too many other people out there running around noon.
