Snowed In

A quick post today.

I woke up to this…

and this…

so I had to do some of this…

Key word being some.  I was bored to tears.  Even the 16 & Pregnant: Life After Labor finale couldn’t keep my attention.

I do have a treadmill in my basement.  I’m very lucky to not have to trudge to the gym.  And I have a TV across from the treadmill where I can watch a bunch of DVR’d shows.  It’s a great set-up but sometimes I still feel like a hamster on a wheel.

Looking forward to running outside on Friday and Saturday!

    You know what works for me on the treadmill? Really loud music on the speakers from http://www.powermusic.com. Check it out. It’s music with a set bpm and no breaks in between. It really works to motivate–did you know that people working out to music are able to do ~20% more time before quitting than those with no music?

    Perhaps you should take up cross country skiing for one of your cross training days.
