Today's Workout


Jerry was the only one brave enough to run outside.  My workout today was a 45 minute treadmill program followed by 45 minutes of excruciatingly fun sledding with the family at Shadow Lake.  It was REALLY cold and windy but the snow was perfect.  Much better than the attempt a few days ago at Kendall Hill.  We all enjoyed the fresh air and the feeling of getting some good outdoor exercise in the middle of winter. 

The highlight was an incredible incident/accident when my two well-behaved girly girls of 14 and 12-years old crashed into an unsuspecting younger boy who had stopped at the bottom of the hill.  The parents all watched in horror as they sped directly towards him.  The crash was spectacular and included one black flying boot soaring through the air for about 25 feet.  I hoped the boot was not attached to a foot.  I also hoped the boot was one of ours.  It was not.  The poor boy hopped through the snow to find his boot as the parents continued watching in silence.  I half expected to be confronted by the boys father.   The boy came up the hill slowly, followed by my two very giggly daughters.  We all apologized, declared it an accident and went back to sledding.
