Doh! I hate when I have "blonde" moments (no offense to any FRB friends that are truly blonde haired). Got up at 6am an drove to work only to find out that I don't work until 12pm today. urgh. It's too cold to run outside with temps at -19 below so I guess I'm going to just do some free weights, crunches, and pushups. I won't be able to run tomorrow either, as I actually work 8am to 3pm tomorrow and then have to drive to Pittsfield for Emma and my friend's 23rd birthday party. Oh well. Will just have to remember that next week is a new week and I can try to get in a couple more runs when it is hopefully less cold out. I am also hoping to make use of Emma's treadmill while I'm there! 9:30 AM - Question of the Day: What do Howling Commandos do when weather and time constraints keep them from getting outside to do a run? .. They improvise! KILLER COMMANDO WORKOUT #1 >> I stretched and changed into running attire with an added sweatshirt to hopefully lead to a better sweat. (Boy did it work!). I started doing stairs, the first time I've actually ever done them, going from the basement up to the middle floor, and back down again. The basement flight is 13 stairs and is very steep. Then my sister and mom who first thought I was crazy for wanting to run inside suggested that I add the second flight of stairs, a "Double Decker" approach. I did, but found it wasn't the same, and seemed disjointed in a way, especially as I had to dodge our not-so-little St. Bernard puppy Aggie who is now about 80 lbs and thought I was playing a game rather than working out. I kept up the crazy stair climbing for an agonizing 20 minutes until my legs burned fire. Then I did 7 minutes of jogging around the basement floor through the four rooms, followed by 5 minutes of jogging in place which made me feel like 1000 pounds! Finished with stretching, free weights, crunches, and pushups (sadly I missed 100) I will try for more pushups tonight. Total Time: 32:00 Total Distance: *3.2 mi (xtraining equivalent)
