I'm glad I did not listen to her.

January 2nd, 2014 at 08:34 pm

That voice in my head that said "It is 24 degrees, there is snow on the ground and slippery, another snowstorm is coming in... just skip your run today, you can run on Saturday." I told that voice to shut up, got dressed and decided I will at least do the minimum (4 miles). It was a great run. Fresh, fantastic, beautiful, almost meditative -- there were no people walking around and it seemed like we had the whole city to ourselves.





I did 4.2 miles, less than usual, but a solid workout, keeping heart rate at 80% the whole time.

So that's 442 calories (the area is hilly, so it takes more effort) and workout #2 of the year.

I decided I am going to keep count of my "calorie bank" for this year, just for fun. Even though calories are only forth in importance benefit of a workout, it will be kind of curious to see total yearly numbers.
Current 2014 balance: 851 calories.

    loved the photo, we have 14 inches of snow over two days and expect it to snow tonight. When I open the patio slider just disappears when I set him out. He burrows down the patio to do business and leaps back in the door.

    I'm glad you didn't listen to her either. Saturday could be even worse and she could talk you into doing nothing for the week.

    My voice told me not to go to work today, but I did it anyway. Smile
