Winter

Winter has finally arrived...this past weekend we left Sheboygan and it was 50 degrees. We went to Eagle River in search of snow and a more winter like atmosphere. We found a little, but when we came back to Sheboygan the warm temps had dissapeared and the frigid air from Up North followed had followed us home. However the sub-zero temperatures have not deterred my plans of commuting to work all winter. So far I have only driven to work 3 times. Once was to switch cars with Tristan, and the other day I had to bring in my new road bike so I had to drive. I have over a month in of commuting 7 miles to work and 7 miles home. This mornings commute was brutally cold with temps in the low 20's, but luckily I had a crazy tailwind and covered the trip in a record breaking 19 minutes. I am proud to be a commuter, saving the environment, saving gas money, and saving some unnecessary miles on the Hyundai. After a week you get into a routine and it's not that bad. Just a little extra time and some planning and you to can be a commuter!

I have also been hitting Synergy once or twice a week for Yoga or Gravity strength training. Now that the New Year is upon us it is time to start setting some goals. So far the only thing I have come up with is more sit ups.
