Stuck in the Middle

First off, Happy Valentine's Day lovers.

Ok, that's as warm and fuzzy as I get. Enjoy.

With the present holiday as an exception, this is my absolute 100% least favorite time of year. Any little novelty that can be found for my in winter is long worn out and the promise of springtime warmth still feels like a distant tease. Life is lived like a mole, heading to work before the sun comes up, coming back after it's down, never seeing the sun. All you want to do is sit in the apartment with your favorite tasty beverage and close your eyes until the plowed snow drifts outside disappear.

Which doesn't work for my training at all.

Late winter can be the downfall of so many training programs. With the shiny newness worn off the resolutions and Memorial Day still being so far off, it's easy to lose ground on those fitness gains we fought so hard for.

Don't give in guys. Do not give in. Remember what I said back in early January about making one better choice for yourself every day. Keep rolling with that. Make the one better choice to get yourself engaged in some kind of physical exertion today. Don't let all that sweat and those tears (I've seen you shed them) be spent for nothing! Keep Going!

Besides, how good's that going to feel when everybody else is freaking out about the 10 lbs they have to lose by beach time and the only thing you're worried about is how to shave another 10 seconds off your half mile sprint interval?

MOVE guys!
