hibernation

The temperature has dropped dramatically this week and the days are so short... it is hibernation time, my body is screaming - and I am willing to listen at last! Although winter officially starts in December, winter mode is appropriate: more sleep - short treadmill runs - more weight lifting and body pump - more cycling and less spinning - body balance - dance class (to keep up the happy spirits!) - more sauna. The next 2-3 months are an opportunity for my body to rest well, restore tired muscles and my mind will also be rejuvenated, training-wise.
