So how is everyone doing with their winter doldrums? Even in southern California I'm going through the winter blahs. I like the sun sessions you have mentioned and will try this from today on. I take 5,000 IU of vitamin D daily but I think the real deal is best. I read that 15 minutes of sun create 10,000 IU of vitamin d in your system. Sure beats a pill. I grew up in northern Calif but have gotten soft, weather wise, the 35 years of being a socal girl. Can't wait to get on the bike again. It's been 3 weeks and the cold mornings keep my lazy bootie in the house. It's motivation time.

Lets remember that our bodies go through a natural seasonal hibernation. It's in our DNA and our bodies are reacting to the weather for a reason. It's just that our millennium lifestyles are 24/7,go go go and we think there's something wrong. Our ancestors were more in tune to the seasons and took it easy during winter. Let's not be so hard on ourselves and give us a break. We'll get back on the bike, we love it too much.
