Nothing, and I mean nothing, exhausts me like full body drills. Haven't done them in a while and now that I'm a few workouts into this routine I'm well reminded how they feel. By the time I get to my last exercise I'm ready to crawl out of the gym. Or just sit in a corner and stare at the ceiling. Muscle soreness head to toe is a good kind of hurt. 
My last running pace was 1 mile in 8:49. That's phenomenal for me. I'm really not a runner. Some runners say they get to a point where it just clicks, and they can just run tirelessly at an even pace for long stretches. That's never happened to me, and I don't expect it to. I've had to fight claw, tooth and nail just to run a mile under 9 minutes. My goal is 8 minutes flat.
HIIT sprints are fun but I can tell that doing weight training with legs 3 days a week is going to make these harder. I won't be able to do as many sets or sprint as fast as I'd like. Which is fine, I'm putting my body through a lot this winter.
The only thing I don't like about punching bag workouts in the winter is my bag is out in the garage. My detached, unheated, uninsulated garage. When it's 7 degrees outside, it's 8 inside the garage. I have a little space heater that brings that up to 10. When it's above freezing, I get a good and enjoyable workout out there. Below freezing, I don't bother.
Yoga's going good. Our instructor said we need to spend more time upside down in 2012, which I'm looking forward to.
