December 9th, 2008 - Used nature’s gym today
It’s gorgeously winter today: We had about 11″ of snow as of Monday morning. Then it started snowing around 3:30 and kept it up most of the night. And it should continue today. Perhaps up to 14″ in the next two days. When you walk to work at 6:45am, few people have cleared their sidewalks yet, so it’s a workout. I could have walked in the streets–which were quite clear (well, relatively speaking), but walking in the snow meant I could skip my cardio workout at the gym later today. I probably won’t skip it, but it’s such a GOOD idea to use the world around us to get exercise. It saves money, energy (in terms of creating products not my own personal energy), and time. I had to walk to work anyway, so why not get more of a workout in at the same time?
Others aren’t as thrilled as I am with the snow. But when you don’t have to deal with it except walking, it’s great fun! (And the walking is better with all this snow–not as much ice to worry about.)
