Well, riding a hot streak for January, that is, especially compared to this time last year when multiple layers couldn't keep us warm. These days we're donning a windbreaking layer, a fleece and let's stretch and go for a run. If you are a runner you need to be taking advantage of Mother Nature's generosity while this mild January lasts. Right now it shows little signs of stopping as we head into February.

The best day of the week? It's Friday and not simply because it's the end of the work week. We could see highs crossing the 40-degree mark. That isn't just running weather; that's biking weather.
