Amazing how 33degrees with no wind feel like a heat wave, 7ft of snow in Buffalo, NY sounds unreal. Suppose to warm up to the 50s by the weekend, hoping things thaw out, I really don't mind the cold as much as there is no snow and wind.

Not that much motivation this morning but got up and did Cathe All out low impact Hiit and Exhale Wk2 Day2.

I think all out low impact is one of my favorite Cathe short to the point, no overkill of reps and you know you worked.

I have tickets to Paris for the marathon on hold with American Airline, just need some more points to post to my account, so for 80,000 aa points my husband and I will fly round trip from Cleveland to London, take train to Paris and fly out of Paris back to Cleveland, was going to do business class but have to conserve points for possible Berlin marathon and the other races already on the schedule. 60,000 points was from getting  AA credit card. Now to start working on the hotels.

Very cold today, with the wind chill we were down to -3, just too early in the season for this, I cancel our Tuesday after work run, training for a 5k and running in that kind of conditions just don't go together, especially since my 5k is in Florida.

First workout today was Drop 2 Sizes P2 RAMP and Timed Metabolic, a quick challenging working 40 secs of work and 20 secs rest, 5 exercise 3 rounds

Kettlebell Swing -16kg
Side Lunges -10#
Dumbbell Row - 15#
Back Lunges with shoulder press - 12kg
Thoracic Stretch

Then back again to Coach Troy and Runerval 7.0 workout C, did so much better today on this workout

warm with 3 - 30secs @ 7mph striders
4x30secs@9mph/2% incline with recovery @ 90secs @4-4.5mph/2%
4x1mins@8mph/2% incline with recovery @ 1min @ 3mph/2%
2x30sec@10mph/3% incline with recovery @ 30secs @ 3mph/3% 
Cool down

After work since there was no run did Exhale Cardio Sculpt Week 2 Day 1, this is such a good DVD that has lots of well rounded routine.

Sometimes the darkness is overwhelming but running helps.......


Got in 8 miles with Mandy and Shelby on the Egbert trail today, it was so beautiful getting the first snow trail run it, need to switch out of the Puma just didn't work in the snow, I could feel the cold in my right foot. Shelby took a hard fall really hope she will be okay, will know better tomorrow.

Afterwards add on D2S P3 Complex Metabolic use the 16kg KB except for the push press, form wasn't great so drop down to the 12kg for those, then finish off with exhale wk1 day 1 this routine pack quite a bit of a heavy punch.

I guess thanksgiving is fast approaching and so is the 5k, not sure I can pull off 25mins but will try my best, this short distance just suck the joy out of running.

Amaze at all the Christmas stuff in the stores and just about everyone I went to today was playing Christmas song.

First Snow storm of the year, quite interesting that I got about 8 inches at home and nothing and I mean not even a snowflake at work. Very long work day since I have to cover for both my boss and a junior engineer.

Easy workout day 2-20mins session of exhale to work the core, lower and upper body, food wise not a great day, quite a bit of stressful eating, and wine on an empty  stomach is also a very bad idea. Oh well tomorrow is another day and back on track

After falling into a nice peaceful sleep @9:30pm I was awaken at 12:15am with a text from my youngest to a question I asked earliest in the day. Now wide awake I found it impossible to go back to sleep and after tossing and turning for 3 hours eventually fell asleep, which translate to no long workout today.

Got in D2S P3 Complex metabolic, love that I was able to go heavy on this one and needed all the 90secs recovery, 3 rounds, 8 reps, right side then left side dead lift, clean, offset front squat and then push press. Started out with the 12kg for 2 rounds then 16kg for the last round, was a struggle but it felt right.

Was going to do another high intensity interval DVD that I got from the library but it was so dated and slow that I toss it out and moved on to the next. I decided to do Exhale Cardio Sculpt Wk1 Day 2 which was energy flow + thigh tone and stretch. The thigh work was ballet inspired and great, thighs were on fire.

Couple of rounds with the GOTR at the Twinsburg fitness track since it was only 36F outside, they are about as ready as they are going to be for the 5k, but body Sunday is going to be cold.
