Just a quick update, I'm working into winter training mode. The morning usually goes like this - alarm goes off - "Man, it's dark out. My bed is so warm. How cold is it out? 27 degrees?!? Maybe I should just hit snooze and cuddle up with my warm bed. You'll regret it later if you don't go. Shit, I hate you voice of reason. Here we go, gotta get ready, it's cold out of this bed. And GO!!" At this point I'm half running, half skipping to my closet in the other room, jumping into my tights and wool socks. And then I'm loving my life. Getting out for a morning run in the autumn/winter is fantastic, and I usually float through the rest of my day. Now I've been on exactly 2 morning runs since daylight savings time ended, and I'm trying to get better at it, but the bed has been a constant winner lately. Meaning, I've been in the gym about 4 times this week lifting. So in the next few weeks, I'll be running more and still trying to lift a few times per week. We'll see how she goes. I'm also seeing if I can recruit any friends to run a fall marathon with me next year, but I've had no luck so far. Anywho, winter is setting in, and I'm trying to adjust. I just stumbled upon one of my headlamps tonight, so there are certainly some evening runs in the dark in my near future. Holler.

Bed is good. Bed is very good when it is cold and dark outside. Motivation is hard to come by when it is cold and dark. People think you're crazy. Of course, here, people think you're crazy if you aren't in a car whether it's 27 degrees or 87 degrees. Thanks E- I might have to pull out warmer gear and hit a morning run this week, it's still in the low 40s.
