January Review
I like to do week in review when I'm training but January wasn't really a training month. It was more of survival month. We had a pretty mild January but anyone who has ever spoken to me for more than 5 minutes, from December to at least the end of February, knows I hate winter.

My family has been in the same boat. I know I'm whining but it's so hard to get up and moving when it's dark and cold plus feeling like crud. My road. I don't run here when the weather is bad. I think of all the runs I did, one stands out as a really rough one. It was in the teens and had snowed the night before. I wear Vibrams, which really lend zero protection from the cold. I wore my trail ones to try to give myself a bit of traction in any snow I might encounter. It was in the teens my toes...
