I hate Snow shovels

Yesterday was a very fun and adventures day. It started out crappy and got even crappier by days in. Got up to go to work and realized we had received 4 to 5 inches of snow which isn't really to bad till you put 30 to 40 mph winds with it. I think they call that blizzard like conditions.
I have a nice big dodge 4X4 truck so I set off for work. The roads surprisingly where in good shape accept for some drifting here and there. Got to work and it seemed like the sky was falling, At lunch we realized that it was getting worse so we decided to call it the day. The problem with that is the company I work for is out in the country with Fields all around, so guess what. Yep, we had 3 to 4' drifts all over the place. I and few others had no problem plowing threw them with are nice big trucks but the ones with 2 wheel drives weren't going anywhere without clearing a way first, so me and a few others started shoveling and we got every out by 2:30. Great work-out accept for the wind and snow was beating us to death. Got home to a parking ban on the streets so i got to shovel more snow for a couple more hours . I can tell you now that I hate snow and cold weather, can't wait for spring.....thought I did enough for the day and decide not to ride my Trainer.

Today was Val-day and Amy made a bunch of sugar cookies, I set there and eat way to many.I don't know if i was flying on a sugar overload but when i did my HR intervals I felt great..I don't recommend eating cookies all the time but it was a great pick me up. Time for bed.. if I can sleep......

So it begins...

Tonight was the first night of my official training for the year. I have had a few nights where I have hit the trainer off and on and ridden in the woods whenever possible. Tonight was my first round of hr intervals. Went pretty well, only an hour and fifteen minutes of riding. Staying easy to moderate for the next 3 weeks. My schedule is to ride a minimum of 4 days on the bike, 2 days of lifting and one rest day.

I hope I can keep this schedule but as of right now life is extremely busy. Howie, Stauby and I have the jersey's we have been designing almost ready to go. I can't wait to get the template back from the company. Hoping the weather breaks here soon so I can get out and hit the trails and not completely rely on the trainer. Getting tired, time to go to bed.
