Still around, still working out...

Santa was very kind to our family this year, giving us a Nintendo Wii! As part of the package, I bought a 'game' called My Fitness Coach, which is basically an interactive workout DVD. Until it gets warm enough to run outdoors, that'll be my workout routine. I considered getting Wii Fit, but it was $100 (versus $20 for My Fitness Coach) and it struck me as more of a toy than a real workout.

On a side note, I've ditched Nike+ for tracking my runs. Runkeeper does everything Nike+ did, only better - especially now that it allows easy tracking of indoor runs on a treadmill!

Need to find a treadmill...

The city I live in has recently spiraled into a winter deep freeze, making it pretty much impossible to go for a winter run without slipping on the ice or losing a limb to frostbite. Running in the evenings came naturally to me over the summer, but I've got to find a way to fit running into my schedule for the winter months. Any suggestions?

I have been keeping up on the lifetime fitness ladder daily and am now up to rung 37, so it's not like I've been a total sloth through the winter months.
