"A Wink and a Smile"

Last year I knew that I had to drag myself out of my depression and do something for ME.   I've always stayed active, but wasn't always consistent unless I had a goal (like the 1/2 marathon I did back in 2012).  I do like to run.  Note the word "like" ... not "love".  In order to run, I really prefer certain conditions ... 50+ degree weather with no rain.   After December 2013 (the month I usually have limited workouts), I knew that the running conditions that I prefer would not be happening in the state of NJ.  So I needed something new.
