Observations/Intel: Storm blew in Thursday, so Friday saw me shoveling the walk. I'm guessing it's a good 150' - 200' (I'm going to do a harder count of the distance later today, so I know for next time), ~24" square blocks, with a depth of somewhere between 4" - 5". This would put volume somewhere between 100 and 167 cubic feet. I can't really measure the weight, since what I moved varied so widely. Some of the snow was pretty light, but some of it was also a lot denser, with wet leaves, etc. mixed in. The good thing is that I was able to whip right through it, which has not been the case. Indeed, one of the things that really prompted me to resume training was that winter prior have been agony for me to do this, more on a breathing, but also somewhat on a strength front. As it was, my Back did get a bit sore and Legs took more of a pounding than I anticipated (I usually have to go back and forth over the blocks 3 - 4 times, as I prefer the shovel plow method to bending over and scooping for that distance), so given that I didn't get an actual OFF day during the week, I decided, since Legs were no-go anyway, to just take Saturday.
Legs are still not entirely back today, though quite a lot better, so I kept it casual. Air wasn't particularly tested today. I wasn't thinking so much of snow removal, as it has been relatively minor the last few years, but definitely that skews the Cardio workouts, though I don't mind treating it as a sort of a different lifting workout, which I suppose it mainly is.
Weigh-in yesterday was 238, which is -1 from last time. Ideally, I had hoped to be on track to be sub-230 by the end of the year, but that seems unlikely at best. Still happy it continues to fall...also, this is 1 workout left to hit 100 and mileage at 750.
