Snow!

Instead of hitting the gym (or basement) Sunday and Monday, I worked out on the snow!  Sunday, I went with my husband and kids to the nearby skiing place, Seven Oaks Recreation.  Not bad for slopes in central Iowa!  We had a great time. My daughter even got the hang of it.  Taking my son on the chair lift is a bit scary, but he does well with it.  He even talked me into going down one of the less-easy hills (not a hard hill, just not the beginner hill!).  They always look worse from the top!

Yesterday (Monday), we used the snow in a different way.  We went sledding on hill in town.  Since the hill doesn't have snow makers, it only has old snow, which is over a week old.  The snow on the hill itself was rather packed, almost icy.  But that just made for a lot of fun!  Our sleds really got going and each run was nice and long because with the stiffer snow, you just kept going and going!  I also did a yoga video in the evening.  I got an amazing stretch of my hamstrings.  It helps that I've used the video several times.  I don't have to look much to see what I need to do.  I can look where I need to or close my eyes, which helps me "get in the zone."

This morning, I got to the gym for FL2B3.  I don't think I left much at the gym!  I'm pretty wiped now.  I had thought I might tack on the 2 miles I miss (or the two miles I was scheduled to run today), but I couldn't see doing even more.  I think I would have fallen right off of the treadmill.
