Savannah
and I returned to the park for a final Survival Workout before her return to
Columbus. I decided to bring the camera
along so I could get some pictures of the new exercises I’ve added. We were well bundled for temperatures in the
high twenties, but at least the snow had melted and would make the trails
easier to handle…or so I thought.
I
took some pictures of her doing the squat-jump, which I find particularly
exhausting, before heading down the trail.
We discovered that the thaw and refreeze had only made the trails more
hazardous with a fine layer of ice covering every inch. We decided against karaoke up the hill and
replaced it with some extra picnic table hops and squat-jumps. We also found that most of the rocks were
firmly frozen to the ground, which no amount of jumping on or tugging at, would
loosen. Still, with a little creativity,
we managed to get in a good workout. In
fact, just walking without falling has the core working overtime and my legs
were as tired as they would have been if I’d been doing my sets of sprints by
the time I returned to the car.
The
rest of the day was miscellaneous work around the house and spotty eating of
some even spottier food. We had salmon
for dinner, though Holly had made a potato chip topping for it. I put together another smoothie and got most
of my calories from that. There is too
much ice cream in the house including a quart of Fluffer Nutter from East Coast
Custard. Holly had gotten it for
Savannah…it’s her favorite…but she eats like a bird and someone had to keep
checking on it and eating some to assure that it didn’t suffer from freezer
burn. I can be so thorough.
