Quick Catch Up

It's been awhile...again...I know. I have had absolutely no motivation to blog. Not much is happening other than me working and complaining about work. Oh yeah shopping and a little working out too ;) I've managed to motivate myself to run several times over past few weeks. The running gear I purchased helped motivate to get out in the dark and on the icy, snow covered path in a windchill of 10 degrees. Talking to my husband the other day I compared winter in Chicago to an ex. Once spring/summer comes to Chicago you can only remember the good of the weather and the city...then the first snow happens and you remember why you want to move and/or hibernate. So it is always a huge adjustment once the temperatures begin to drop as I am sure it is with everyone in every northern state/province. I hate the first few minutes of being frozen and the last couple miles of not being able to feel my chin but I try not to think of those things when I'm having an internal debate on whether or not to run outside. I do like feeling hardcore, the satisfaction once I'm finished, not slipping on ice, and the empty paths.

Alright I am off to pack for hopefully my final work trip of the year! Yeah!!! Actually I was done with my own sites last week but I have had to cover for others - boo.
