Nice easy 70 min run on the TM. Cannot believe this snow so early in the year. STG might become more of a reality sooner than later.

Legs are feeling good. Energy levels are still a little low. I figure this time of the year I am going to take one extra day off to get my body excited again for racing in the spring. Because right now it's just a blah!

I might try Zumba classes to keep things interesting this winter. Big group runs on the weekends might also be a good way to stay motivated. If you think of anything else let me know because I am lacking inspiration.

Swimming has been really good for me. I might take that up one more day a week. Also one of my co-workers suggested Yoga in heat or something. Also if you do Zumba I need photos for blackmail!
