Take a break today.

Taking a break from exercise some days makes a lot sense.

We are one week away from the summer solstice, and that means “hot, hot, hot” where I live.

So your off-time might be driven by crazy-hot — or crazy-cold — weather.

Or you might just need a break from over-exerting yourself.

But a lot of runners and walkers need an official excuse to take a break.

Here is an official excuse for U.S. readers: Today is Flag Day, so take a break!

You can hit the trail, the track, or the treadmill tomorrow.

If you are going to be outside today, be sure to use sun protection.

Sun Friendly Products is a retailer that claims to have more than sixty-five sun-protection products.
