Your Workout Forecast

This is cool: The Weather Channel's Fitness Forecast.

Enter your zip code and you'll get the hourly forecast for your area accompanied by a "Fitness Comfort Index". They even tell you how many hours of daylight you have left (so get off your ass soon) and what to wear! Maybe this seems silly--just look out your window, fool --but it's also reassuring.

Similarly, you can search for parks in your area... although they don't tell you WHERE they are, just that they exist.

And, last thing: check out the Hydration Needs Calculator to figure out approximately how much water you should be drinking every day. It only asks your zip code, your weight and how much time you spend working out so it's not going to be totally accurate, but it's funny to see how much water you should be drinking. When I plugged in my info and put 1 minute for duration, it suggested I drink 57 oz. When I put 60 minutes for duration, it suggested 59 oz. Huh.
