Good morning from snowy New Hampshire. Yup more snow here today, adding to the ever growing pile of snow that is growing in my yard. I do love the snow and winter, especially when you can sit inside and appreciate the beauty of it. Of course I like going outside and enjoying it as well. It is just the shoveling that I hate at least is makes for a good workout.
This weeks wrap up is a little lite, but the quality of the content is some of the best. I really enjoyed this weeks Primal Endurance podcast since it was about everything outside of training and nutrition that has an impact on your performance. Enjoy!

“Life Is too Short to Suffer” – Primal Endurance Podcast
This was by far one of my favorite podcasts I have listened to in a long time and despite it being on the Primal Endurance podcast the topic had nothing to do with training or nutrition. In this podcast Andre Obradovic discusses the importance of everything else outside of racing and training and the impact it has on your racing goals. The topics cover everything from children (my favorite), relaxation, finances, and life stress. I think it is a must listen for all athletes.
This reminds me of a Instagram post I saw this week along the same topic
