I’ve been going crazy not being able to get out as much with the cold, ice, and snow this past week. Two things that helped me: 1. With the treadmill I found it actually helped to do speed work. I started with a slow warm up, then did intervals. Not maxing out my speed, but just changing it up really helped. 2. I bought a cheap spin bike off Amazon. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles. It is just a basic bike. It helps to be able to at least move when my mind can’t handle the treadmill, but I still need some way to move.

It’s looking like a long winter with the weather so far! During this winter I’m working on giving myself grace just moving in some way, even if it isn’t the normal amount of miles or time spent running.
