Unless you’re a Yeti or just really dedicated, Winter Walking can be tough to start, and harder to follow through on. One of the reasons for this is because A) it’s cold; B) muscles tighten up; C) it’s cold; D) the color palate of gray on gray just wears you down; AND … F) It’s cold.<\/p>\n

Seriously, you can talk yourself out of anything, but as soon as your friend gives you a long glaring pause when you suggest that you guys blow off your walk, you’ll say oh okay, let them know how you were just kidding anyway … really … and then get back out and move.<\/p>\n
