Why
is there Weather information on a fitness site?
Do you
like getting caught in the rain during a run? Maybe you
do and maybe you don't. Keeping and eye on the weather
might help you plan your workouts to get the weather
environment that you prefer. Never trust a weather report
over your own good judgment by looking out the window,
but Aprioriathletics.com/weather
or Aprioriathletics.com/w1
can help. Is the wind blowing out toward center field at
your ball diamond?
