DON'T BE LIKE BOB, EAT HEALTHY AND KEEP EXERCISING!

Below zero again? How much more can we take?

I try to keep a positive attitude about situations as they arise.  I have to admit, this seemingly unending stretch of crazy cold temps is a tough obstacle  (Yes, we get excited when the highs are at least above zero).  So, how to deal with it?  If you know it's coming, you can plan for it rather than let it get you down.  If you are hard core enough to still run in -15 degrees, you know to dress smart.  Maybe you have to get up a few minutes earlier.  Personally, I just didn't want to do that today, so I found an alternate form of exercise.  Here is a link to a nice site that gives a fresh look at some old stand byes.

I found a new ab exercise that was a great challenge.  Thank you Neila Ray!

It's up to you.  You know what you need to do.

The Task

Running in Blistering Cold Weather

Yes, you can do it safely!  Here is a link to a good article from Runner's World.  Basically, it's in the clothing that you wear.  Dress smart just like you would for any other weather and you can overcome the cold weather barrier to your training.

SO cold!

-33 degrees, again?!  Yes, again. A positive twist? This gives us the opportunity to adapt and not give up. Plan for these days. I am up and doing a weights and crosstraining day. Ha, yes, I am posting in between sets. Don't let weather stop you, make it drive you!

Sharing a little Friday morning humor as we greet our day with a -25 windchill...  I for one chose to bike indoors today!
