Plan B

So much for running 4 miles on Monday.  After reviewing all weather reports I’d seen throughout the day, I didn’t expect to see what had occurred in Frankfort by the time I got home.  When I left the office, there was a flake or two coming down.  When I got to the parking garage the snow started falling rapidly.  By the time I got to Frankfort, there was at least an inch of snow on all the roads.  What happened to the streets and road personnel?  Just where are my taxes going?  It was so bad, they had closed down East Main Street going downtown, which is the way I get home.  So I had to backtrack and find another route coming up East Main Street.  It was at this time that I realized I’d need to move on to plan B. 

 

Plan B was to use the ole trusty elliptical machine instead of risking injury by trying to run up and down hills on slick sidewalks and roads.  This might have been to my advantage, though, by giving my joints an easier workout while still getting the cardio I need to maintain my training.  Since the elliptical machine is typically an easier workout, I decided to go for an hour (burnt 672 calories) and use the around the world program (climbs all the high mountains around the world).  The workout was good; I maintained a high heart-rate throughout and sweated my butt off.

 

Tonight I will either make up the 4 mile run, or skip it all together, since I did get on the elliptical machine, and possibly go ahead and do tomorrows 5 miler.  Right now I’m leaning toward making up the 4 miler. 

 

That’s all for today, check back tomorrow to see if I decided to do the make-up run or went ahead and did tomorrows 5.
