Look at the dark side:
* You'll have an increased risk of skin cancer.
* You'll increase your risk of heat exhaustion.
* Your expensive Lycra will fade from excession sun exposure.
* You'll be more likely to run over snakes basking on the hot pavement.
* Excessive sweating will make you unattractive.
* Increased heat on the trail will make you more thirsty requiring a stop at
