Nice hike around the snowy Wisshickon. The skies were clear blue this morning when I went out to get the snow off my car but by the time I did some work and got out for this hike it was starting to get a little cloudy and by the time I finished, totally overcast. Wonder if it's going to snow again tonight?

Definitely feeling yesterday's stair climbing out there today!

10 cards of exercise/stretch combo.

Stairs.

Totally clueless that it was going to be cold and snowy today. Could have gone out anyway I suppose but just wasn't prepared for it mentally.

So, up and down my 3 half flights of stairs with two sets of 4 minutes of double stairs. Good indication of how much fitness I've lost the last year or two - these were hard work. A decent indoor alternative and a reasonable functional workout. I'll need to build up and start carrying weights at some point.

Session with Kelly. Squats were back today!

5 random cards as I needed to stretch before being able to fall asleep and this seems to be the best way for me to do it.

A lazyish stroll around the Wiss. They've done some more rerouting of trails that I checked out. Two hours is not a problem but I can tell that much more would be. Need to build back up slowly.

Session with Kelly. Not a single squat! But lots of other things.

An hour of moving some wood chips that a tree removal company that took down a tree across the street dumped in my yard for me. And then a hike around the meadow loop. And feeling good enough that I did three 100 meter or so stretches of light jogging. Mostly I was trying to keep ahead of a group of horses that were doing the same loop but I also felt motivated. I really think going off the Singulair has made a difference in how I feel.
