SNOW

The snow has RUINED my training this week! RUINED! Let's see...when was the last time I posted...

I think it was Wednesday so I'll start with Thursday.

Thursday I ran 1.5 miles in 15.01. I was planning on running 3.5 but wasn't able to finish because I hurt my foot at work earlier that day. I tripped and slammed the meaty part where my shin meets my foot into a piece of wood (I'm oh so graceful). I now have a nice black bruise right where the ankle support of my running shoe hits. When I turned around to go home just 1 mile in, Buddy turned and looked at me like I was crazy!!

Friday was my day off.

Saturday I went to body pump at the gym. I dragged my fiance, Nick, along with me. I think he had a good time in the class, but he said it was definitely really tough. They just launched the new class, and this was the first time I did it. There are now TWO squat tracks. Needless to say, it was TOUGH!

It was really nice, though, because it was snowing pretty hard outside - therefore only the truly dedicated were at the gym. Amazing how the atmosphere changes when all the annoying NYR's are at the grocery store, stocking up on bread and milk instead of working out. If only it could be like this every day...siiigh

Sunday I was planning on running 5 miles, but we got 9 inches of snow. This made running outside unsafe (slippery roads, bad drivers). We weren't even able to get my 4WD SUV out of the driveway because of the 3+ foot snow drifts!!! So I got my exercise yesterday by shoveling a little snow. I don't think it was enough to equal a 5 mile run, so I have decided to redo this week on my training plan.
