Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone!

Well, the weather in Iowa has finally turned to winter. We have snow on the ground and some very slick road surfaces. Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out what my fitness goals and plans are for the year.

While our weather was changing over the weekend we had a lot of rain, wind and cold temperatures so I went over to a friend's condo and ran on their treadmill. It was a very nice Precor unit that has all of the bells and whistles that you need to get a good workout. I found that running 5.5 miles indoors is a bit boring, but it's really easy to maintain pace on the treadmill. :)

Overall it went pretty well and since almost no one at the condo uses it, I might as well take advantage. I was thinking of purchasing a treadmill, but I might wait since I have such a nice one available to me not very far away. They even have a flat screen tv with satellite tv on it to watch! How can you beat that? I'm still going to try to do most of my runs outside on the roads, but this is a great alternative when the sidewalks are too treacherous or the temps are too darn cold.

Hope everyone is having a great new year so far!
