The winter that wasn’t finally cooled off this week as temperatures dropped to around 20 degrees. It’s still a little dark outside at 7:30am right now, but it’s light enough to see some good-sized snow flakes falling gently from the sky. Is this the winter storm I’ve been hoping and waiting for? Regardless, it’s beautiful and brings a smile to my face.
Without snow and ice on the ground, I’ve been doing a lot of rollerblading lately — 4 days on, 2 days off, then the past 2 days on. First 4 days I went around the ‘hood with the dogs, followed by a couple laps at the track of the local rec field. Last 2 days I took the dogs and then 4 laps at the track (about a mile at track alone). That, combined with daily push-ups and crunches, and I’m feeling really good and full of energy lately.
And with the snow, maybe I’ll even be able to ski soon.
