#Autumnfitness - Love and Hate

It's now December, well into autumn.  This is generally a miserable season for going outside, but I have tried to pair up each negative with a positive:

:-(   Headwinds are sent to upset me every morning I cycle to work.  Nasty, nasty invisible energy sappers that make me work too hard for 6:30am.
:-)   The way home is nearly always a cracking tailwind - 30mph here I come!

:-(   Darkness envelopes a huge chunk of the day.
:-)   I get to run wearing my Hope One headtorch - what fantastic kit, built to scare creatures in the woods.

:-(   The dropping temperature means I have to wear loads of extra clothes.
:-)   I get the chance to wear those extra clothes I own.

:-(   Everywhere is wet and muddy.
:-)   Everywhere is wet and muddy.

:-(   I have put on a couple of pounds as I have not managed as yet to cut down my food intake from the summer.
:-)   All my clothes that are too big for me in the summer are now the correct size again.

:-(   I have to put my Look road bike to bed for the winter.
:-)   I get to use my cross bike as a winter bike.
