    Catrin, I agree, I wish my body could acclimatize to winter. It was freezing yesterday and the day before and I, too will be riding outside tomorrow and Saturday, in January. I so want to be on my x country skis, this is killing me. I need a mental break from riding, so I feel fresh in March. It's not like I am a racer, or anything, but I look forward to focusing on something else.

    I am going to go on a big hike tomorrow on a couple of the longer mountain bike trails in my favorite park. I've not seen those trails yet so this seems a good time before the winter weather returns. With OUR like, winter will stay away until Superbowl week - or worse yet - it will rain that week

    I have a friend that is BEGGING me to do some outdoor rides with her. I just can't bring myself to do it. This is my non-bike season. Yeah, I do some interval trainer or computrainer rides, but its my cross-training. Tis the season for running. And trying new classes at the gym. And strength training. And skipping workouts to read novels and soak in the tub.

    I too wish the snow would come! I would love to be xc skiing and snow shoe running. And the kids are DYING to make a snowman and to go sledding. I'm sure it will get here soon enough

    I need to move to the beach, if I never saw a snowflake again in this lifetime I'd be a happy woman.

    It's just you.

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!

    I actually think we have had fewer strong windstorms than usual.

    Dear body:
    I'm sorry that I gave you coffee after 2pm. Funny that you don't handle NOT having caffeine well, but you don't handle having caffeine well either. I'd like more than five or six hours of sleep, since I'm getting over the plague.

    Dear friend:
    Is your religion really the only thing you can think of to talk about on Facebook? How's your job? Your dog? Are you still playing the cello? Hung out with anyone from high school recently? No "look at this cute animal doing something cute!" videos? Talk about one-dimensional...

    Dear other friend:
    I'm afraid you're not much better. Your updates consist solely of medical school and Zumba.

    Dear boyfriend:
    I can't listen to Coldplay or the Barenaked Ladies any more without thinking of you. I don't know what to think about that... :/
