Morning's Exercise

[stevenpiziks]

I only went to karate once last week.  Too busy after Monday, and on Friday I wasn't going to drive again even at gunpoint.  This morning, I gritted my teeth and got on the treadmill.  Like many people, I always gain some weight in the winter.  Karate had helped me keep it under control, but lately life has interfered too much.  I was hoping the weather would stay clear enough that I could continue riding my bike.  I'd rather bike for two hours than run for twenty minutes, frankly.  But no dice with the current weather.  So it was back to the torture device.

I jogged for forty minutes while watching a TORCHWOOD episode, then showered and announced to the boys that it was time to shovel snow.  More excercise!  Even the little electric snow broom takes energy to use, and in any case, the electric cord isn't long enough to let it clear the entire driveway, so the half close to the street needs to be done by hand.

So I'm exercised out for the day.
