Exercise Update

I posted this on my main, Off The Kufs blog earlier in the week. Here is my exercise update:

I just felt compelled to give you an update as to my exercise streak.

It has not been broken.

I have not missed a day of cardiovascular exercise since May 24, 2009.

On the birth of my beautiful son we were up all night long and he was born at 12:08 PM that day. Without sleep for nearly 42 hours I went home to gather some stuff the night he was born and of course put 40 minutes in on the treadmill.

The hard part is not being able to run outdoors. It has been an awful winter in central NY. I had three days the week after Christmas and 1 day in January clear and over 32 degrees. I can't go below freezing. So I sometimes run the boring, 19 laps around=1 mile track @ the YMCA or the stationary bike there. Most of the time I crank up the incline and walk the treadmill in my living room.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SPRING.

Until then I struggle.

But I do not miss a day.
