Sometimes, in the dead of winter, a nice day pops up. Like a crocus. Like today. Forty degrees, sun, no wind or rain. QUICK run out the door, jump on your bike and go for it. I did this morning and what a joy. SO sick of that elliptical machine. So bored with the ERG. SO pleased to be outside. I am a huge believer in the utter necessity of going to the gym but – when there’s a nice shot at going outside out of season – go for it. Oh, and dress up. I have little booties to go over my bike shoes. And warm shorts to go over my naughty bits. And ski gloves, which look odd but feel great on a day like this. But the bottom line: Go for it.
