The sun is rising earlier and earlier.....

Every Tuesday and Thursday I teach boot camp at 6:30am and 6:30pm.  Thanks to the dedicated women who make it worth it to get up!  Anyway, recently we all noticed how it was almost light out when we were done at 7:30am.  How nice!  This morning as I pulled in to the parking lot I noticed that the horizon was just lightening up a little at 6:25am!  It put a spring in my step this morning and when we were done it was full daylight!  Yay!!!!  Is spring just a round the corner after all????
I need sunlight.  It makes all the difference to me when it is light out when I wake up.  Do you know anyone who suffers from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)?  Very common in countries and provinces that have few hours of daylight in the winter months.  What is one of the cures??  Find something you enjoy doing outside during the winter months.  Instead of fighting it for 3-4 months, enjoy some of it. 
My client "M" is taking on this new approach to fitness and health.  Tomorrow I am teaching her to cross country ski :).  Exercising outside is so much more fun, it doesn't feel like exercise at all!
What do you do  cure the winter blues?
