Keeping winter fun

Dukas is up to something
Road

Up by A-frame house, icy road too





With nothing to do around the house, to keep me entertained, I have been doing quite of bit of riding. Even though it was 15 degrees one time. It's been a lot of fun and it is definitely keeping me in shape, I think. I've been doing some riding around town like Witch's Knoll, down West and Canyon Road. Then one warm day, I went from Manti and along the backroad to Sterling and to Mayfield. I stopped at Mayfield at Mike's house for a little while and played a board game with Andrew then went back. I had a good ride that day,and a good time visiting.
This winter, I have been doing more cardiovascular exercise than weight lifting. I am still doing a little bit of lifting though, but not much, maybe stuff like pushups, core exercises, polymetrics, and squats sometimes but not into it seriously though. Maybe like once or twice a week but doing more biking and snowshoeing which I enjoy more but whatever. All the other winters, I have been doing more lifting and always gained like 10 or 15 pounds. This year, doing more cardiovascular, I only gained 3 or 4 pounds. Well, I think that is good.
I enjoyed riding and snowshoeing this winter and hopefully it will get warmer this month.
