Cross Training

= Shoveling 6 inches of snow. Someone was supposed to come and clear up the condo building where I live, but they apparently had an injured foot. I helped out for a while after a morning trip to the gym. Today was a day for the treadmill, I decided, since it snowed pretty heavily last night. It looked like fun to play in, but I decided not to risk injury with a trudge through the winter wonderland.

I don't know what it is with this new neighborhood we live in, but it seems the city really doesn't care about us. The plows have not come by even once on our road, or most of the adjoining roads. Frustration...

Wife is out shopping while I watch the boy. This is a first, actually. She's been really nervous about leaving him. It's really good that she's getting out though. Don't want to make the wife crazy by being cooped up all winter like good old Jack!

Run:
7.5 on the treadmill at the gym. 52 minutes.
Core + weights afterwards, and then about 30 minutes of snow-shoveling.

You know, I was making a joke about this yesterday to my wife:

1. I'm a writer.
2. We live in an enormous dorm closed for winter vacation.
3. Substitute big wheel for red fire truck.
4. My meds are gone...

Heh. Shovelling has been my main source of cross training this month too. Usually I think, yeah, it is a good upper body workout, but I won't reap much benefit as I don't do it much. Not this year (or at least this month).

Yep, you don't need your wife to get all "jacked" out. Very smart move on your part. Trust me. :)
