Enough with Winter already!

At the moment is is 35 deg. Much warmer than a few days ago, but the wind is howling at 25mph with gusts up to 40mph. Kids are on a 2 hr delay due to icy roads. It is supposed to show/rain/sleet later this afternoon. Bleck!

I stayed inside this morning (no way I'm going out running in that mess) and repeated W4D1 pushups. I just didn't think I could move to D2 quite yet. 63 push-ups later, I'm sure that was a wise decision. I'll try D2 on Thursday...

They are making progress on the backyard, but yesterday they attempted to cover some of the aresa they worked on with tarps. Ha! Their efforts were no match for the gusty wind. The tarps are now in a heap over by the fenceline. They are going to have to try harder if they really want that stuff to stay covered.

I'm not a winter person. I'm ready for it to be over. And the sad part is...it hasn't even officially started yet. Sigh...

  3. That's just what I was thinking - 'it hasn't even started yet!'

    I have a nice reprieve to look forward to with Cuba then Disney, but after that it's a long haul til Spring. Sad.

  13. I can't really comment on this since we don't have "winter" in FL. And truth be told, this is my favorite time of year weather-wise here. My complaining comes in July and August.

  14. Ask anyone in blogland and they know I H.A.T.E winter and we haven't even started yet, which is very surprising for Ottawa. Usually by now I'm snowed under and frozen to the ground.

    Like Mel, we are suppose to get hit with a big dump of winter tomorrow (MEL, Keep it in Toronto, please!)

  15. You are rockin' that push up thing. I am still sadly not back on the wagon. Which is not to say that I haven't been training EVERY day.

    We got the cold here too...I'm off for an easy, EASY run soon.

  16. Fortunately for me, I hate the heat & humidity of summer more than this - I can bundle up for this!

    Now if I can only run in this...

  18. So, when it's -30 degrees here in January/February, I can come stay with you? LOL. It was -7 this morning and the kiddos didn't get to go out for recess which we all know is hard on the kids and the teachers!

  20. I don't mind the cold, but I am so not a fan of freezing rain and ice.

    Great job on the pushups. I've only made it to W2D1 at this point.
