The future is fit, and our Home of the Future is stuffed to the gills with high-tech workout gear for all four seasons. It seemed only right to spend some time getting physical and fit in the present.

Clad in a North Face “Better than Naked” running tank and shorts, Adidas Pure Boost shoes, Oakley Ferrari Blade sunglasses, and sporting a Garmin VivoFit on my arm, I took to the streets of Manhattan. And it got me thinking. Here are some of the highlights from the internal monologue I had with myself while on a jog at 3 pm on a Tuesday afternoon:
I’ve never run without socks before but you don’t have to wear socks with these kicks and that’s pretty cool.
These shoes are super lightweight.
So are the tank and the shorts.
The future must be colorful, because everything I’m wearing is coordinating bright pink and blue.
This is definitely not my normal routine of exercising in seven-year-old sorority date party t-shirts and holey worn-out shorts.
It’s really hot today.
Normally I wouldn’t wear sunglasses on a run but these sunglasses barely feel like I’m wearing anything on my face at all.
These sunglasses also make me look like a softball coach.
Who are all these people having a late lunch in the middle of the afternoon on a Tuesday?
Do they even have jobs?
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PEOPLE ON THE STREET?
Man, these shoes feel good.
Dang, the Home of the Future has really made me out of shape.
Now, it’s safe to say that what I was wearing did not make me run faster. That would take a miracle. But I definitely looked the part of an inhabitant of the future. And the future is certainly lightweight, and sweat-wicking to boot. But don’t worry—we’re not timing you.
