I ran/walked for 28 minutes I kept getting the worst side ache. I kept thinking if I could get my side ache under control my legs felt good, I could have ran much longer.

I worked my abs and did 2 leg weight machines.

Then I got on the bike for 30 minutes.

I did shovel snow again last night for about an hour and a half. I am shoveling for two at this point my neighbor is an older lady and her son normally shovels, but not lately.

VENTING! So I made a huge batch of jerky all day yesterday. I cut up all the meat (It takes forever if you want to get all the fat off) I marinated it until about 5pm then I put it on the dryer. I stayed up late to take the first batch off then I got up early to take the second batch off. (It was so good)

Well today when I got home the dog had got out of her kennel/crate. Yep she ate it all. I could kill her. She comes in lately because of the cold but has learned to head but the door on her kennel. She turns on the water facet out side and leaves it running. This is acually her second indoor kennel because she figured out how to open her other one. I wish she would put her brain to better use. I will never get another dog after this one.
