The Basic Three

Here three things you should never leave the house without during winter:

1. A pair of Gloves
2. A Hat
3. A Scarf

These three things will make all the difference when the weather is cold. If all you've got is your coat, you will be chilly even with it all zipped and buttoned up. However, if you've got a trusty hat, scarf and gloves, you will be much warmer and much more able to bear The Coldness of Winter.

No More Snow

I am so glad that the snow has melted completely away. It is as if there was never snow in the first place. It is such a relief to have my commute back to normal, my coworkers back to normal, and my schedule back to normal. It was interesting walking in the snow to get home and for my exercise, but is not an experience that I would like to repeat anytime soon.

Walking 2.5 Miles a Day

So far these past two weeks, I have walked at least two miles a day during my lunch and usually have added an extra 1/2 mile to make it 2.5 miles a day. However, all the snow that fell this weekend has me wondering how I'm going to get my exercise in this week!

Tomorrow I don't plan to drive to work, so I may walk the 1.7 miles to the bus stop and go from there... considering that I will probably be walking back home from the bus stop, it looks like I will get in 3.4 miles tomorrow! Although considering that the buses will be on a reduced schedule due to MLK day and a reduced snow route due to the weather, I'm guaranteed to get more exercise in. Too bad I can't walk all the way to work.

Ah... I miss snow days... where I could just stay home and not worry about how I was going to get anywhere...
