I'm Not Letting the Winter Get Me Down (Yet)

I signed up for a winter swim class. It is Adult Stroke Development Advanced. It runs for 6 weeks on Saturday. I will miss 1 class due to work, but that will be OK. I will get the workout from the coach and do it at the hotel pool.

I've done some hiking, cycling, swimming and running lately. I find that if I am having trouble motivating myself, I can buy something to help me focus. Examples Hiking - new socks - hiked Mistletoe State Park, Cycling - new helmet - riding Silver Comet and BMHM Lunch Loop, Swimming - goggles and class - swimming laps, & Running - new winter jersey - trail ran the Bell Bomber Loop and A.L. Burress trails.

I had been thinking about buying a treadmill, but the other day I used my sisters, and I couldn't wait to get off it. It sucked so bad, I would rather be cold and wet.

So my plan for the winter is to swim alot ( the pool is heated) and wear layers when outside.

I rode yesterday during lunch. It was cold. Even bundled up like I was my knees ached and I had a ice cream headache (without all the empty calories, or delicious flavor) from flying down the hill in 30 degree weather.

Winter sucks.
