Snowshoeing in the Park

Since I starting working at home, I have not been able to find the time to exercise. I feel like I am turning into a blob. When I was downtown, I went across the street to the gym during lunch to take a class. Leaving the house for 2 hours in the middle of the day is no longer realistic for me, though I still need to find the time to fit in workouts. Finally today, after being cooped up since the blizzard started, I got a brilliant idea. I love snowshoeing and DG has snowshoes in the garage. I dusted them off, put on my ski pants, and headed to the park. My legs were burning after the 3 block walk as I passed abandoned cars that are everywhere sitting in the middle of streets. Finally, I got to the golf course where it was fresh powder, sometimes knee high. The views of downtown were amazing and the workout was fun and exhiliarating. I was wheezing the whole time and I had to stop at least twice to take a breather. It was so much better than being in the mountains.

Dear Santa, if it's not too late, maybe like you could get me some new snowshoes for Christmas, pretty pretty please with a cherry on top?

Now I can go finish up that bag of egg nog cookies!
