277 Outdoor Diary: 2,000 Days Outside Taught Me These 3 Winter Lessons

I can hardly believe it: I am hitting 2,000 days in a row of my outdoor habit. That’s 2,000 days of spending at least 20 consecutive minutes outside every single day, no matter the weather.

So what have I learned over 2,000 days? Unlike my 1,000 day mark, my 2,000th day is in the dead of winter. That means my three 2,000th day lessons are winter lessons -- and they look a little different than the lessons found during the good summer weather.
