1/14: 3.01 mi; 23'58"; 7'57" avg. pace
Yes, that was my only run in January. The snows, the single digit temperatures, a chemical spill, etc. conspired to make this an awful month for running. But 2014 is no year for excuses. I have finally setup the indoor bike trainer that Mike got me for Christmas two years ago and have hit that hard in the last couple weeks. Skiing has helped fill in the workout gap on two weekends as well. Mike and I got lost in Kumbrabow State Forest and escaped alive, though I'd prefer to burn my calories less out of fear for survival and more for stress relief and enjoyment. And I have tried to do little workouts around the house while I dream of better running days. I even find myself walking the stairs at work, for a break, to increase my heart rate every now and then.
The bottom line is: winter is depressing. Earth needs to move its fat a*# around the sun a bit quicker and make it spring in the Northern Hemisphere again.
