A Slight Overreaction

Today’s 44 was a stupid choice an elevated push-up with a clap.  I used a chair for the elevation.  

Clearly these are hard for me!!  I think the fact that yesterday was also chest day in the Michelle Bridges program didn’t help!!  I only did half (22) on my toes then I dropped to my knees so I could actually still do a push-up (without bending my body so much).

And, even though it’s only day 2, I think it’s safe to say that this Michelle Bridges 12 week program is going to be good for me.  The soreness I’m feeling  today is rare for me!!!  

I am going to have to play around some to try and figure out how to do my daily 44, the February challenge with Taylor (which I’m very excited about!), this new program and plenty of solid running miles!!!  

Screen Shot 2014-02-04 at 8.14.54 AMYesterday the weather forecast for today looked something like the above predictions.  The snow was supposed to start falling after midnight and by 6:00 am it was supposed to be coming down at the rate of 1.5″ per hour or more.

Instead, it looks like this outside.  The backyard isn’t even covered and the snow on the ground is actually from late Friday night/early Saturday morning.

Barely covering the street and again most of it is because they did not plow on Saturday and we have just been driving on snow the past couple of days.

Even now, no snow is falling at all.

By dinner time we knew that school was cancelled for today.  And, Chris actually got the day off because all Government offices had announced they would be closed today.

Now, don’t get me wrong, if school is going to be cancelled, I prefer to know the night before so that we don’t have to set alarms.  However, if we don’t get any snow I think that maybe we could have had school today.

And, I’m definitely not complaining about the lack of snow – if we only end up with what is on the ground right now then I will be HAPPY!!!  

Do you think the decision to cancel school should be made based on a weather prediction or what till it actually happens?
Is it a snow day for you?

Happy Tuesday!!!
