8 mile early morning run. Left from work as soon as the sun came up. Testing my MCL and so far feels OK. Ran up Atlanta Road through Smyrna.

Back-shoulders-lats Training times two today... (Up to 5,000 calories a day now, new personal record). Cardio—> Shoveling—>Weight training.


That’s right, you guessed it, more snow.....


{Although this particular scene, looks straight out from a ‘horror movie’ with the fog mixed with the fresh snowfall. }



Perspective:

This snow pile to the left of my driveway is accumulative of what I have shoveled over the course of the last two months, and towers at *8 feet tall*, and I stand at 5’8.

I removed this icicle off my neighbors house:D...


{It’s actually long enough where I couldn’t even fit it in the picture, I would guesstimate about 5 feet.}

The sudden thaw, 66° yesterday, about 70% of the snow pack has melted completely. The Robins had a long flight here, but indeed a sign spring is near.

Cardio—>Chest Day.......

Cardio only today. 60°.

I stopped alongside this farm front just outside the city limits on ‘Rainer Mt Rd.’ (These cows were oddly interested in what I was doing, as they literally froze.)

Downsizing my life, selling my house and plan on buying a condo. Moved into an apartment building for a year. This mornings view of Buckhead (can't see downtown) before my run.

Did an 8.25 mile run this morning. At about miles 2.5 I tripped on elevated sidewalk divide and fell face down. Nice faux pas with a lot of witnesses. Luckily wearing gloves but did skin my ‘good’ knee. Was a little slower after that. Still managed over 8 but my MCL knee started getting sore.

Man, that's awful.

I haven't fallen in front of folks yet, but I know my time is coming. Today I meant to get up and run at dawn, but didn't get out until after 8. Still, full 10k at 50 degrees F. My 5th fastest time on this route.

No, this is not an April fools joke. It literally was snowing to the point where visibility was reduced today, fortunately the ground is too warm for the snow to stick (32°), and there is a decent trend for warming up this week.

Taken Pre-Chest Day just outside my window......

Post Triceps:

Some type of ‘sand crane’ was in my backyard. Fairly intimidating bird, it stood at least 4 feet tall. It likely made its way from the countryside, which is just south of my house.

Ok, so you remember how I posted my last picture of a spring storm with 70° in a few posts above....


Try a winter storm within 60 hours verging on 30°, with sleet/freezing rain/snow mixed with 50 mph winds. How’s that for a 180 climate change.

Shoveling—>Shoulder workout.
