I tell you what - Winter is no joke up here in the mountains. Not only the shoveling, but the roof raking, and hauling firewood, among other things. I guess I'm grateful to be forced into physical activity during these months when it's so easy to hibernate, even though every bit of my body aches. There is something satisfying about getting shit done, knowing I earned that Epsom salt bath.

Each morning (okay, 5-6 mornings/week) I do a 30 minute workout, usually some combo of yoga and Essentrics. Most days I walk a couple miles in addition to my various chores. At least this is my winter routine.

So far today- I've done my workout, a walk, and planning more roof raking later before it snows some more.
