Run Streaking in the Winter plus Miscellaneous Thoughts

So after the new year I committed to running every day until I go to Cancun (sidenote: SO EXCITED). It seemed like a good idea at the time, but that's because it was unseasonably warm (upper thirties, lower forties) here at the time. Now that it's down to normal January temps (teens) it doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore, but I'm dedicated. On the cold days, I'll just make them shorties. It really is easier for me to run when there's not a question of whether or not I'm putting on my running gear and heading out, just how far I decide to go. Plus, when I get back I'll finally suck it up and join the gym up the street with the money my parents gave me for Christmas to do just that.

The consistent running also seems to be helping me manage my stress with starting the new job. I know I'm still working with the same people and doing almost all the same things, but changing companies, changing bosses and being unsure of the future is still somewhat stressful. So far so good though. It seems like it really is going to be a true tech company that happens to be located in the midwest. I hope I'm right!
