Get Outdoors: Snowshoe for a Cause!

I have to admit, I despise gyms. I am not a fan of exercising indoors. I do not enjoy running on a treadmill to nowhere. I prefer to be outside amongst the trees and the birds and the sunshine. Warmth on my skin and fresh air in my lungs.

But.....it's winter. It's cold. In fact, Salt Lake temperatures have been downright frigid this year, and I won't even get into the air quality, or lack of it. 

And so this snowy, blizzardy Saturday, after spending weeks indoors, I decided to snowshoe. And not just any course, but a 5k for the Tubbs Romp to Stomp, a fundraiser for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. And yes, I said blizzardy...severe winter weather warning and all, the race must go on!

Sideways snow and 50 mph gusts, pre-race Zumba and pink-colored accents - and it could not have been more fun!

I encourage everyone to GET OUTDOORS no matter the season. And if you can dress silly and raise awareness for a great cause, even better!
