Are We Having Fun Yet? No? I've Got Some Ideas

The word 'fun' doesn't often enter our vocabulary this time of year, although I heard a friend mention that his new hobby of doing triathlons was 'fun.'  My idea of fun involves things like going to Hawaii or getting a massage or watching paint dry or not doing triathlons, but whatever.

If your idea of fun is a little out of reach, I have some simple ideas for making your workouts just an eensy bit less tedious.  Sometimes, the right music or the right workout can pull you out of a January funk.

Or maybe I'm just fooling myself.  It's been known to happen.
