It’s Friday and I’m linking up with Running on Happy & Fairytales and Fitness for the Friday Five 2.0 linkup!
Join in! Don’t forget to link back to your hostesses and visit some other bloggers.
This week, the theme is Favorite Winter Activities
I’ll say it up front. I hate the cold!!
If I didn’t run, I would never go outside.
I don’t ski, snowboard, ice skate, sled, snow shoe…nada!
Keeping that in mind, here are my favorites:
1. Running (only cuz I sign up for races & winter half marathons to make me get out there)
2. Tennis (Indoors) – I play doubles once a week.
3. Knitting – I am not very experienced but I have made socks, hats & scarfs.
4. Cooking (on the weekends) – I love to make soups & chili.
5. Reading – I always read every night before I go to sleep.
These two are recent favorites:

I just started this one:
Happy Running! What are some of your favorite winter activities?
My First 5K and More... 
I was not a huge fan of All the Light We Cannot See. I liked it, but I just didn’t think it was as great as everyone said. I almost always enjoy Jodi Picoult, although I haven’t read her in a long time. Always love that twist of irony.
I actually do love ice skating . . . but there’s the time thing. Can barely fit in the things I want to do now!

I skied and ice skated when I was younger but didn’t enjoy either. HATED BEING OUT IN THE COLD!! Anyway, my ankle would not tolerate either now.

I don’t like skiing. My family skiied when I was a kid, but it was never my thing. Too scary!

It is. It’s not hard esp if you don’t make complicated items.

I first read your comment as “complicated errors” because that’s where I go when I knit, all too often. But you are right, it isn’t hard, and it is fun. 🙂

It can be hard but I stick to the easy stuff and it is fun. I wish I had more time to devote to it. I would probably then tackle more complicated projects.

Those are some awesome ways to stay stimulated during the cold months, lady! I don’t knit, but I crochet! Maybe we could stitch together some day.:)

That would be awesome. I don’t spend enough time on it – I’ve been making the same pair of socks since July LOL

LOVE those socks and hats! You do great work! I was raised in Arizona… winter and I don’t get along very well, lol, (although I hate running in the heat).

OMG I loved All the Light We Cannot See. Loved it.
I also hate winter. It sucks. I want to live on the beach where it’s warm all the time. And I don’t even like the beach all that much! So I’m with you — if it weren’t for running I would never go outside in winter. 🙂

I hate the cold, too! Reading was one of my winter activities, too, but mostly I just read blogs and social media lately. I need to change that.
