We got nailed with another snowstorm here, so most people were hibernating inside. I had planned to take another rest day, as I think I might have been over-doing the cardio lately. Well, it turns out that I had a movie to return tonight and the roads weren't in any condition to drive in. So, what to do? Most people would probably just pay the late fee and take it in when the roads were cleared. But there are few things that can match my love for freshly fallen snow. My gf bundled up in our scarves and toques and headed out to face the Great White Blizzard.
Walking through knee deep snow turns out to be pretty good exercise. All that snow can get heavy and add a lot of resistance! It was an eerie feeling, as the outside is always so quiet when it's snowing and there were very few cars on the road, and almost no other people walking about. We took some time out of our trek to make some snow angels, make big snow piles to jump in, and jump as high as we could and land in the soft snow.
By the time we had returned the movie and made it back to our apartment, we were wiped! We had wet boots, rosy cheeks, and runny noses. It's great to be a kid in Canada...Oh, I'm not 10 anymore? Ooops.
Well, tomorrow I'll be back in the gym, back on the regular, more traditional exercise program, working even harder.
Get your game face on!

Ok, so my other image editing program isn't behaving right now, so I'll post how I was before:

WE got some snow in SE Michigan, about a foot overnight on saturday. i didn't make snow angels, though that does sound like fun and brings back childhood memories. I had to shovel out my van so I could go to work. now that was a workout!
Shoveling is an awesome workout! I don't know if we got over a foot, but it was pretty close. I'm just glad I've been doing all these back exercises to improve my shoveling skills!
