Spotty winter running

With Debi relocating back to the US after our Berlin experience, the weather turning cold and rainy much of the time, it was difficult getting motivated to run. I went to DC the week before Thanksgiving, woke up before dawn the next day due to jetlag, and went out for a 5 mile run from the convention center to the Mall, turning around after the Lincoln Memorial. It was cold starting out (did not think to bring warm gear) but managed to warm up a little by the time I finished, only my hands were numb from the cold . But it felt great to be running, also nice to see so many people out there doing the same. The rest of the time in DC, the weather turned cold and wet, so I used the hotel's really nice fitness center which is also a private gym used by others in the area. Amazing that so many people were already on the exercise machines at 5:30 in the morning. Back in Italy, am having a hard time getting back to an exercise regime ... need to sign up for something to get motivated.
