I was driving home from the gym and noticed the roadside thermometer read 0° celsius, signalling a time of year I refer to as winter hibernate time.

It’s the time of year when it’s too cold to do a lot of cardio outside, and thus you tend to end up sitting inside watching hockey and drinking someone else’s beer. The time of year where your lungs freeze if you’re foolish enough (and I am) to go for a run at 8:00pm.

For me, I usually try to double up my daily workouts (one at lunch, one after work) while incorporating some form of indoor cardio. I must say I’m pretty much addicted to sugar and the Christmas season is a particularily bad time for that.

On another workout-related note, the property management guys at work finally followed through on their threat to clean out the gym lockers (I work in a technology park and one of the perks is an on-site gym). Evidently they don’t want people to actually use the lockers because they’ve posted notices saying that anything left after a workout will get tossed. There are about 150 lockers with at most 7 people using the gym at any one time. I never did understand the logic so me and a buddy (who has since moved to London but left all his gear in the locker) have been using the same locker for the past 2 years. There have been cleanout threats made previously but the closest we ever came to obeying was removing the lock from our locker.

Last week I walked into the change room and to my surprise there were 5 or 6 large garbage backs strewn on the floor full of everyone’s clothes, shoes, shower supplies, etc. Nice eh!

Glenn: Yes, it’s true, I couldn’t save your stuff so you’re going to have to live without those old insoles and shorts, but I think I may have rescued an old uvic shirt. ’tis life.
