Wow – lots of words! Put on shorts and an old T-shirt – go for a walk/hike/run in the neighborhood – Rock Creek park – mall – just go – it’ s fun. You don’t need fancy clothes.

  I used to feel that way, until I started working out regularly. When you spend half your evening in exercise clothes you want them to be things you enjoy wearing. Stores like Lululemon are still way out of my price range, but I’ve gotten nice inexpensive activewear from Marshall’s and the like.

    Also, you do need specialized clothing for some of the activities listed. I’m excited that they’ll be selling ski items!

I’m sure it will be a lovely store and I wish it well, but the orange 72 reminds me of one of those color blindness tests
