Can you believe that it’s already 2017?? And the first work week of January is already behind us! Time seems to go by so quickly. It was 16 degrees today and sunny. I was tempted to run outside but experience has taught me that when I run in temps below 25 degrees I usually end up…..
There’s nothing like a beautiful, sunny, warm day to blow up any and all excuses for exercise!
