18 inches of snow shoveled and 5.10 miles ran. Cardio done.

Like much of the country, the Hudson Valley in NY was slammed with snow Sunday and Monday. I went out twice on Sunday and cleared the driveway and shoveled the walk but by Monday morning it was filled to the brim again with snow.

I have a snow thrower and used it on the driveway but there is still a lot to shovel. Snow throwers only clean up so much and then it’s time to use the back and arms. I also shoveled off our back porch as I didn’t want the snow to sit on the porch for the next couple of weeks until a potential thaw.

Last week my wife and I assembled our new Nordic Track. Our Sole treadmill we got during COVID died a couple of months ago. I usually run at the gym in the mornings, but tonight I took the new treadmill out for a leisurely run. I was quite happy with it. My wife usually runs at home as she is not a gym person. Once the weather breaks she and I run or walk outside each night, but the weather in January in NY is just not made for outdoor running in my book.

I hope you did well in clearing the snow and staying safe… I’m going to have some tea and head to bed.

An enjoyable 5.1 before bed.

This picture was taken around 9:30 pm. Amazing what an iPhone and a lot of bright white snow can do to create light.

Living in the Hudson Valley of New York State, at age 40 (almost 41), I had a health scare and had to make serious changes in my eating and exercise habits. This is the story of how, I went from Morbidly Obese to being a Marathon Runner and ran 12 marathons in 12 months. After I ran several more, I did something I never imagined possible: I am an Ironman.
