It may have been the path that originally lead you to my blog in the first place, but I’m sure there are others of you who didn’t know….!
In addition to The Triathlon Rx, I am also a writer for:
… where you can find me every Thursday, and
… where I post as often as I’m clever enough to come up with something good! (Kidding. Kinda…. 
)
Anywho, I try really hard not to double-dip. That is, post something both here and and also on another site I write for. However, I occasionally to suffer from transient monotony, and therefore once in a while you will see a double post. As in today…

Groucho Blogger Erika: Arctic Tundra
Well guys… I have some sad news for you.
It looks like Minnesota is going to get a winter after all… 
Unlike some of our cryophilic friends here at Groucho Sports, I would rather spend three months in a toaster oven than venture out into the sub-zero tundra of a true Minneapolis winter. Year after year, I ask myself why WHYY [insert man on knees shaking his hand towards heaven in rage] do I still live in this frozen state? But then after 3… 5… 7 months of cold… the snow eventually melts. Flowers sneak their little heads up through the ground. Easter – my favorite day of the year – comes and I find this transient sense of forgiveness for our state and its far-too-long season of frozen.
Given that we’ve been cut some slack this year – people running in shorts and biking outside in January – I felt it fair to turn down my degree of displeasure. So this winter, as my offering of thanks, I vow [/make] to do the following:
Though obviously not with my “good” bikes…
How fun would it be to come outside to ‘Mater on your windshield? Even more fun if you have a 4 year old. 
Reader Qs:
What do you do to make winter “more fun”? And how the duck do you keep your fingers warm!?!? If I had a box of Cocoa Puffs for every pair of gloves or mittens I’ve gone through to find “the one” …. I’d be coo coo, and drowning.

holy frigid MN! i make winter more fun by drinking more red wine
and boston doesnt ever get that cold, so i have no help in the finger warmth question!
HA! That weather report looks like what we are supposed to be having in my neck of the woods. We finally have some snow on the ground, but just barely. Last year this time, we had enough snow to basically ski everywhere.
Love the new blog name! Maybe I should make one called Class II Triathlon Rx…..

brrr…. but that would be funny to see on a car window. but brrr…
The glove/mitten thing is big at our house bc Rich has bad neuropathy and cold sensitivity bc of the chemo. Other than spending $400 on Columbia electric gloves ( seriously?) we use the heaters ( you know what i mean) And Rich has some gloves i gothim at Sahale.com that are super soft fleece inside then there is a place for the heater to go into the dorsum area of the glove.
I personally like lobster gloves and running i never wear full 5 finger gloves, my hands are all fisted up, same with biking, it allows for some good core control steering of the ride:)
but just sitting around? my hands are always cold!
