Snow!

Posted on 05. Jan, 2009 by Kat Miller in All

It snowed last night, Jools woke up at 5:15 this morning to put the heating on before we headed to the gym and informed me it’d snowed over night. It has to be said though that it was rubbish snow, about 1cm and not worth taking the day off for, so I didn’t bother taking any photos of it and instead of heading to the skate park with our boards we went to the gym and work instead! It has to be said that the snow was so rubbish that my train to work ran on time!

On the positive side I started my second week of fitness with a 30 minute treadmill session using a new Nike+ workout: Master the Treadmill with OK Go! This is a mix of speed intervals but no inclines so it was relatively easy on my legs although it did give me a good session. I’m enjoying having these treadmill workouts on my iPod, it breaks the monotony and also keeps me going. If I was running for 30 minutes straight I’d give up but these do seem to work a bit like the carrot and the stick method. So at the end of Monday, I am 3.8km on the way to this week’s total. I’m not sure whether I’ll do my planned couch to 5km tomorrow as it all depends on the weather, I’m OK with running in the cold but if it’s too icy then I won;t risk it and I’ll do a gym session instead. I’m not going to let the weather knock me off track in my quest for fitness but I’m not going to risk slipping on an icy patch before I get to go away either.

And with that, I give you today’s proof! (plus a bonus shot of my tasty lunch from Wasabi)
