Last year, on the day our unbelievable blizzard hit, I was making a last run to the grocery store and passed one of my friends out running. The snow was coming down heavily but hadn't begun to accumulate. She said she figured she had to get it in before we got buried! And she was right -- 40 inches of snow, no school for more than a week, not a plow to be seen for a week.

There was a Bah Humbug race in my town today. I didn't participate but I saw the runners when I came home from my WW meeting. There were lots of dogs running with people and most people and dogs had santa hats, reindeer antlers, etc. Fun!

Monday, December 6:
60 minutes arc trainer, resistance at 9, intervals
60 minutes circuit training class
My big toe joints are killing me tonight. They're arthritic anyway. But in circuit training class tonight, we did an exercise where we bent over & placed our hands flat on top of a step, flattened our backs, and sort of jumped forward on one foot & then the other, alternating. I don't know what this is called. Sort of burpee-ish, but one leg at a time, without any standing. The trainer told me the name of this, but I've forgotten. Anyone, I'm not light on my toes, and I am really feeling the impact now.
