While I realize that shorter days and colder temps can be less than appealing for many people, now is not the time to lose steam with your workout routine. In fact, I can’t think of a better way to relieve stress, negate extra calories (why, yes, I would like another slice of pumpkin pie!), and just put you in a better mood overall than exercise! To help keep myself stay motivated, I try to sign up for races and events around the Chippewa Valley. If you’d like to do the same here are some great websites for tracking down these events.
