First run of the new year!  Always feels like a blank slate.  I have no goals or resolutions.  Though I am enjoying lifting weights.  I hate the gym though.  Too overstimulating.  But, I will probably try to keep going with regular strength workouts.

Lighter cardio.  Longer lift.  Signed up to take a Zumba class tonight too. We will see if I actually go.

I had planned on longer, but felt kind of crappy today.  I don't need much to hit 40 this week.

Probably should have run longer since it is the warmest that it is going to be all week.

Trying to take advantage of the relatively warmer weather.  I get cranky when it drops below 20 outside.  Now to take on four year olds who have been out of school for over two weeks.  It's gonna be a day!!

Inside running today.  It's cold. Lifted after.  Glad I went really early.  The gym was a zoo by the time I left at 6:15.

Cold morning, but it was nice to run when the sun was up!  Wore my insulated purple jacket and it was perfect for sub 15 degrees.  We'll see how long I can stand the cold.
