Actually, mine started about a month ago. Plenty of ice cream, less intensity on the workoputs, bike rides with little purpose than to see what's over the next rise. But it's getting to be about time to get back into some training. But what training goes well with winter cold and turkey?
I read an interesting article from Coach Jorge over at E3 Training Solutions; on Base Building (http://coachjorgem.blogspot.com/2008/01/what-exactly-is-base-training.html ) and how best to approach this time of year - next races months away, working on the best plan for next year. One thing I'll add in to what Coach Jorge syays, is efficiency. It's a great time of year to work on technique - be it on your swim stroke, or your cyclle spin. Maybe even test out minimalist running to see how it works for you. Without an imminent race, it might also be time to play with your nutrition; see what agrees with you during that longer run.
And as it's time to relax, maybe time in sports other than S/B/R - paddleboarding seems big this year, and in New England, lots of snow sports get their due right now.
Don't forget some extra family time, too...
Enjoy the off-season, make good use of it. The seasons will start back soon enough with your first build!
