Winter Weather Runfessions

We blinked and the month of February is just about done! It’s time for another edition of Fit Five Friday, and, since it’s the last Friday of the month, I’m linking up with Marcia to share some Runfessions.

Winter Weather Runfessions

I runfess that I have been hibernating. While I’m usually a bundle up and go kind of runner, this winter I have to admit that I just don’t want to. It has been exceptionally frigid and my motivation to wear all the layers and dodge the ice has reached an all-time low.

I also runfess that my running has taken a hit in the past few weeks. While I’m grateful to own a treadmill, I’ve never made it a secret how much I dislike running on one. We have another storm in the forecast for this weekend, so I think I’ll be embracing time on my bike and strength training for the forseable future.

There, winter whining done, LOL – Anyone else counting down the days to Spring?
