Monday night thru late Tuesday we received approximately 12" of snow at our house and yet we had fun playing in it and sliding down the street yesterday afternoon. I did not run yesterday but I shovled the driveway, ran sprints down the street pulling a 5 year old neighbor and Jacob in the sled while wearing heavy boots and in 8" of snow while it was still coming down, I'll call that Cross training! In all Jacob, Jamie, and I spent 3 hours out in the snow shovling and playing. It was great to share that experiance with Jacob that I was so fond of growing up!! You can't do that in Arizona!
Ok so my workout was obviously on the treadmill and went like this:
2 mile warm-up ( downhill)
800 at 7:04 pace
400 at 8:00 pace
800 at 7:04 pace
400 at 8:00 pace
800 at 7:04 pace
400 at 8:00 pace
800 at 6:40 pace
400 at 8:00 pace
800 at 6:31 pace
400 at 8:00 pace
800 at 6:19 pace
1200 cool down
Overall it was a good workout and did not kill me. After a quick shower I went out to shovel the driveway for the 3 time before heading to work by 7:45am. I burned a few calories before work!
