What do you do when there is snow and ice on the ground and you want to run? What if you do not have access to a treadmill? Well, that is what I am going through right now. What’s a girl to do? Crosstrain!

I have weights, bands, a box for jumps, jump rope, a muscle rope and more. Although the weather has kept me from running, it will not keep me from exercising. I have goals and I am making progress towards them. Old Man Winter is not going to hang around forever and I have races to run. Building strength will help me run faster and I have PR’s (Personal Records) that I want to surpass.

I have learned a lot this winter and the main thing is…Winter will not break me!

How do you keep training when winter tries to slow you down?
