A Snowy Endurance Workout

[Alhambra]

Yesterday it snowed 30 cm (or 12 inches) here. Today I pulled my 4 1/2 year old son in the sleigh while walking my daughter to school and then of course home again. Normally my son walks half way but due to a nasty cold he sat in the sleigh the entire time. Total time: 50 minutes of pure endurance...the roads are not plowed and to avoid the sliding cars I pulled in the fresh snow. To top off the workout I shovelled the driveway when I got home (15 minutes of weight training...as I had already done 30 minutes of shovelling yesterday evening). At the end of the school day I get to do it again...I don't think I'll need a workout tape today.
Have a great day everyone!

Yuck. It's 70 degrees here and sunny. I don't envy you a bit, but I know for a fact that you got a darned good workout!

Sounds like you are on Mother Nature's rotation with all your slogging and shovelling. Enjoy your day before you 'get to do it all again' I must admit that I really enjoy shovelling when I'm not rushed to do it. It is a lopsided workout though as the shovel just doesn't feel right when I try to even up the sides

It definitely sounds like your arms have earned the rest of the day off! I'll cross my fingers that there is no more snow and that the roads are ploughed between now and your child's dismissal time.
