I finally made it back to the gym today. I have not been sleeping well because my baby gets so sick at night so i was proud I even made it with the little sleep I got last night.

Wednesday After that huge snow storm I went out and shoveled my drive way and side walk into one big pile then about an hour later me and my 4 year olds went out and I shoveled half our frount yard into the pile. I made a snow cave big enough for them all to fit in. I think I was out there for a total of 2.5 hours.

Yesterday I could not move, my back was so stiff. Still hurts today but I think it is the muscles from shoveling and throwing it high on top of the pile.

Because my back is so stiff I did the acr trainer for 30 minutes 1.60 miles and then Did a couple of easy weights and a few cruches (Not many because my back) Then I got on the bike for 35 minutes and went 6.25 miles.

I had some extra energy tonight so i decided to get on the treadmill. I acually had my best run since being back. I ran my first mile in 10.24 min's and then my second at the 23. something min, and then I walked slow for a couple of minutes to cool down. I feel good!

I love playing in to snow with the kiddies, that's what we did too. But I didn't stay out as long as you did. I don't have that great of outdoor gear, jean and a hoodie. but we did make a snowman and some snow sculptures.

It is fun when you start feeling good on your workouts. Just keep with it and you will feel better and better.

Y aI don't have snow gear either. I was out in workout pants and a hoodie with knit gloves. I was warm from all the shoveling I was doing. My poor kids don't either because I have so many at the same age and it dose not seem worth it, so they had socks on there hands and when they got cold they would come in and get a clean pair. Needless to say I had a huge pile of wet dirty socks when we were done. (But we had fun)
