Wintertime Blues

Most of us feel this way by now. We just want to run away from winter and go swimming.  Last week, tons of virgin snow, lots of outdoor things to do.  And days off from work.  I really appreciate the last one.  One of the benefits of my current job is there is not as much pressure to come in on really bad days.  It's not like when I used to manage a hospital lab 40 miles away.  Often, it would be just me and the night shift stuck there on bad days.  I digress...as I sit here looking out my window on the gloomy gray muck that was the snow I so enjoyed, the realization has hit me.  Its time for the snow to go.  Yesterday was a bit of fun photographing the Harrisburg Polar Bear Plunge.   But that is the highlight until the snow thaws.  For now its back to work.  Lunch times spent at the gym and four night a week trainer sessions in the small space I manage to keep clear in the unfinished part of our basement.
 I built up a new commuter bike but so far most of the miles have been on the rollers.  Hopefully by the start of  my "official" get off my fat ass and really start to train on March 15th, things will be better.
