The snow came during the night and covered us with many inches of snow.

It was a big disappointment because there was no way I could get out to go to the box to watch the CrossFit Legacy Sectional Warm Ups that were going on this morning.

That did not stop me from getting in a free Saturday WOD.

Similar to virtual shoveling I call it “Real Shoveling”, 80 feet X 20 feet X 12 inches deep for time.

The big winter shovel is always a test of my endurance and the benefit from CrossFit. While I imagine that many guys my age can get out and shovel for a couple of hours and live through it I bet they would feel much worse for wear tomorrow. This couple of hours of shoveling is not going to give me a sore back. Well, not any more sore than my back always is. I will not be hobbling around with sore legs or arms.

Shoveling snow is what my body is made for. Lifting heavy things and carrying them for long periods at a steady rate is one of my best skills. I believe my ability to do this is a direct result of my hard work at CrossFit.

Hopefully the plow trucks will come by during the night to do the street and of course, pile snow back into the driveway entry.

Eating—On track. Hoping that I hold even from last week on Monday’s weigh in. A pound or so loss would be great but not counting on it. It’s about time for me to stall even though I am eating on track.

What hurts today—I was surprised that my ankles were hurting again today. They felt really good yesterday. I can’t come up with any cause and effect. My headache is gone.

One Year Ago—We had a heat wave on Saturday a year ago. It was 44 degrees.
