So instead of torturing myself on the trainer today, I spent three hours shoveling this (this is after I shoveled):
And while I was out there I ran into her:
I fed the deer some crackers and shoveled and shoveled and shoveled. It is the never ending iceberg. I decided this was as good of training as lifting weights and riding my trainer for 2 hours. Not sure if that is true but I sure had fun out there..There is something very gratifying about shoveling snow-I know, I am wierd.
Val left this AM after a great visit last night. She ran with H & I yesterday. the temp was all the way up to 25 degrees or something-a heat wave! We hung out last night and celebrated her birthday with a cake and yes-I ate a BIG piece of cake. man that tasted good!
Heidi, Jack and baby Avery are coming from Taos tonite, we are back to ABQ tomorrow for a day then back here Tuesday for H's birthday....Life is good.. my thoughts are still with Michael and Kyle-still no word that they have been found. And I think the pitbulls are in doggy heaven now. I suppose I should feel bad-Hartley does, but I don't feel anything except relief that we can run and walk our dog now..

beautiful pictures!
Don keeps trying to convince me that shoveling is good cross-training. You burn 400 calories an hour apparently. I don't care! I would rather run on a treadmill for 2 hours than shovel any more snow! One more week in his cast and the shovel is his!
Shoveling snow is a special kind of exercise, isn't it?
Happy birthday, Hartley :)
How cool that you got to feed the deer. How close did you get? By the way, snow shovelling is great exersize. Good for upper body strength.
