Long-range annual planning with weather forecasts

As I ran today at lunch, I wondered how much longer the incredibly beautiful fall weather is going to last. And then I wondered if we would have another long, wet spring in 2011 like we did in 2010.

The answers are available at http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/  Click through the three-month forecasts to get the weather man's best guess!

So how does this affect your annual training plan? Well, if you're like me and basically don't ride your bike outside when it's below 60 degrees, you can start preparing yourself mentally for a long winter indoors. You can also decide that now is the time to build up to a two-hour trainer ride followed by a one hour run that will happen sometime in April.
