You should take heed of what's been said. It can get old.

Yeah, I thought I was going to love it after coming from hot and humid PA but it does get old like the others say. It only took me about a month before I was going nuts, but I must admit you will get used to dealing with the wetness. My wardrobe & hair have completly changed in order to deal with the damp air for 8 months straight! lol

It might sound nice for a while, but it gets old after a while. Sure, the temperature is mild, but when rainy days ruin your outdoor activities you will get frustrated. I love to be outdoors running. But 9 times out of 10, I can't go because of rain. Sure, you can run in the rain but its miserable, and when its cold, its double misery.

But Seattle is supposed to be such a mecca for the outdoors!

Then buy rain gear! I was just being realistic.

Todays gyms take the stationary bike/tread mill to a new level. They have a virtual rooms for you to make it a little more interesting then watching other people or ESPN.
Lets face it, this is a much more pleasant experience then running in the rain.
But the are people that opt for the rainy run, so to each his own.

Actually, I agree with you. But I'd say, own up to the fact that you can't always be outside in the Seattle rain.

No way, I am a nature person. Dont want to be cooped up. Rather be outside any day.
