Fall is in the air...

Don't hate me if this isn't true for your neck of the woods!  If it makes you feel better it's probably a false start!  But for now it is in the air and I'm loving it, even though you can't tell by my workouts.  Now that all the marriage madness has died down I need to kick it into high gear and go all out these next 2 weeks before my taper week for the Disney Half marathon.  So here's a question if it is at 10 pm would it be the kiss of death to visit the park during the day?  How can you be in Disney World and not visit the amusement park, but I know being on my feet all day will kill me for the run that night.  hmmmm

So I've noticed that as I get older it becomes increasingly harder to adjust to the time change that will soon be coming.  At first it just took me longer to adjust and now I just plain hate it!  Which is contradicting to the fact that I love winter because I love skiing, my off season addiction.  Here are some of the things I try doing to help:

1.  Go to bed a little earlier
2.  Do more group runs with my running group, the more I get outdoors the better I feel
3.  Try new sports, again to keep me outdoors, snowshoeing, cross country skiing
4.  Try not to sit still too much in the evenings just because it's dark doesn't mean the days over.

I need more help though, what do you do to keep the winter blues from taking over?
