...I've skipped a few running workouts in a row and instead went home for a punching bag workout. Bag is about as tough of a workout as running, same level of exertion anyway. I know, it's not going to help me on my run time but I just can't stand the gym this time of year. The cardio deck is packed like a Who concert without the Who.

And it's too cold to run outside. Cold and dark. And unsafe with all those crazy drivers.

I have more excuses if anyone would like to hear them.
