Brrr!!!

Okay, I know there are parts of the US that get real winter seasons where it rains all the time and even snows but here in Orange County, California, we’re just not used this cold weather. A day of rain is a very traumatic experience and we all go on Storm Watch and our newscasts are filled for the hour with reports of impeding rain and freezing cold temperatures. Yes, we’re wimps.

At least once a year, Saddleback mountain gets a layer of snow that quickly melts but this morning, after a very chilly night with rain, the mountain had the most snow I’ve seen in a long time. I tried to snap a few pictures of it but there was still a cloud cover hovering over the top. Anyway, here’s a pic and there are a couple others in my Flickr account. Enjoy!

Winter training

I’m trying to get back into my training habits this winter rather than being lazy, which is my normal routine during the chilly months. As my friend says, I stay in the cubby getting chubby. So, this week I’m trying to start out right by going out every day and putting some time in on the wind trainer when I get home from work.

So far, so good. I’m off to a good start and the new Garmin 705 is keeping my interest on the bike. I’ve enjoyed using their website for uploading my workouts. Pretty neat stuff. Check it out
here.
