worked up a sweat

walking at the little mall. I haven't done that in a long, long time. It was easy to get my three miles in. It is not a busy mall but I still had to do some dodging around people, mamas with strollers and such. The very chilly wind prevented me from walking outside. I did my fourth mile indoors at the Y before I lifted weights. I am totally amazing!!

sunday walk

Despite it being rather soggy because of the melting snow I walked my usual three miles outside today. The weather was spring like and it didn't take me long to get my miles in. I also walked/ran one mile indoors at the Y before I lifted weights. For December I have lifted the equivalent of eleven elephants. Love that! School has started up again and I have subbed two days already. I always make a point to stand as much as possible when I sub. In fact, I don't usually sit down during the day unless I am eating lunch. I am having some trouble posting pics to this blog so if you don't see one assume that I am still working on this problem. Other than that, life is good!

questions and answers

What kind of walking shoes do you wear? For years I was a Nike whore but I recently switched to Brooks. The latest pair I bought though is Saucony. Both brands are very light weight and comfortable. I usually don't wear socks.


How do you spend your day when you are not subbing? I read a lot of nonfiction and I always have several books going. Besides the Halparin book on my ipad, I am reading Bill O'Reilly's book, Killing Jesus.


What did you get for Christmas? Two pair of Mariana earrings, two cashmere sweaters, a pair of leather boots and a pair of Hunter rain boots.


What kind of salad are you eating now? I call it my Triple P Salad: romaine lettuce, pomegranates, heavy parm cheese and a handful of pecans, toasted are great but I don't usually take the time.

below zero

Seven degrees below zero. And the wind makes it feel like twenty seven below zero. We got a lot of snow yesterday and it's beautiful but I'm not going out to take any pictures. I'm reading Double Down by Mark Halperin and drinking a second cup of coffee. Running on the treadmill? Yeah, I might do that later!

exercise

We woke up to snow today. Not a lot of it but enough for the snow plows to run and do some shoveling. I walked/ran three miles on the treadmill this morning and instead of lifting weights at the Y, I shoveled snow.
