Too much shovelling

I'm done with the snow. It has to end soon. I mean, really. We are approaching, if not already achieved, the local record for snowfall. It's disgusting. In the last two weeks, we've had at least three good dumps (that just sounds inappropriate, sorry), each requiring 3 to 5 efforts at clearing. All that time and energy spent outside has left me slightly immuno-compromised, and now I'm fighting a bit of a cold. Hopefully, this will pass overnight, but it hasn't been a pleasant afternoon.

Before that, though, I got in a decent workout. I'm still stuck indoors, but I'm getting used to that. I felt just fine this morning, so I followed the schedule and knocked out 8 miles at LSD pace, backed up by an easy 30 minutes on the bike. At the time. I noticed my heart rate was 5-10 bpm higher than it should have been at that effort. Obviously, that was a sign that the sick was coming. Still, the effort felt good, and with any luck, I should be right as rain tomorrow morning.

Run: 8 miles @ 7.2 mph
Bike: 30 minutes, zone 1
