SNOW Workout!!

This is what we woke up to today. I LOVE it!! When it comes to snow, I can't get enough. Of course, yesterday when it took me an hour to drive 3 miles to work (on my second attempt at going in) I felt a little different. But today I'm working from home so there's nothing to do but admire how pretty it is. Andy and I just spent about an hour shoveling out and my upper back and arms are feeling it! Good upper body workout for sure. Thankfully the gym is opening and I'll be able to get my run in today...9 miles with 3 miles at race pace. Going to head over at 11 and watch The Price Is Right. Too bad it sucks these days with Drew Carey. Does anyone else getting really excited when the contestants get to play Plinko? That's definitely the game I'd want to play!!

Anyway...back to the snow...

Our back patio...the sitting wall is 18" high.
 
Nice few foot high wall of snow the plow guys left us with!

Andy working hard, me supervising. :-)

It doesn't look like it, but this mound of snow is almost as tall as I am.

Good luck to anyone who needs to get into the passenger side.

So pretty!

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

I have to say I do think it's beautiful when it snows, even when I run sometimes the quiet of it is amazing!!

Look at all the snow!! I would totallyl love it if I didn't have to drive to work in the morning.

Have a great run and enjoy PiR. Mark and I used to go home for lunch in high school and watch it. I agree, just not the same with Drew`!

It seems everybody is posting beautiful snowy pictures and we are dry as a bone here in CA. Me envious!
Thanks for the pictures though.

I trust you'll run to work next time it snows. You'd save yourself at least half an hour.
This was some heavy snow, you're right on about the workout.
Glad you got to enjoy it!
