So we had a snow day yesterday. \u00a0Well, a telework day in my case. \u00a0But we have snow! \u00a0I measured it at 6 inches in my front yard last night when it was still coming down. \u00a0I shoveled twice (very carefully due to my stitches) and am going to have to dig out my car at some point today because it got plowed in. \u00a0Hooray.<\/p>\n

So as you can probably guess, I’m taking another telework day. \u00a0I figured, it was offered, so why not take it. \u00a0It’s been nice to be able to keep my leg elevated. \u00a0(It doesn’t hurt, but since it’s right on the back of my knee, a straight leg is much more comfortable than a bent leg.) \u00a0And while I trust myself driving on the gross roads, I don’t trust anyone else around here. \u00a0Seriously, a few flurries and people go insane.<\/p>\n

I am finding myself going a little bit stir crazy though, not from being home, but from the inability to workout. \u00a0On telework days, I usually take a long lunch for a good workout. \u00a0It’s the perfect break. \u00a0But I’m not allowed to do anything til after the stitches are out and the wound is checked on Friday. \u00a0On some level, I’m enjoying the free time. \u00a0But I am starting to worry about fitness lost. \u00a0I keep telling myself that I ran a marathon a week and a half ago and am supposed to be resting anyway.<\/p>\n

Then I realize how stiff I am from 45 minutes of shoveling. \u00a0Not a good sign.<\/p>\n

But I don’t have anything big coming up that I need to be trained for. \u00a0Princess Half Marathon, but I can drag my body through that if need be. \u00a0Triathlons don’t start again til June, so there’s plenty of time to train there. \u00a0Which is good, since I’ve not been in the pool or on my bike in months.<\/p>\n

However, I took advantage of the break and made a solid training schedule for the next couple of months. \u00a0Nothing too harsh, and it’s designed around my life so on days when I know I will miss workouts, I didn’t schedule anything. I don’t know if I’m looking forward to starting it or dreading it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
