Time to Catch Up!

So now that Hurricane Sandy has blown through, I can sit down without fear of sudden power outage or falling trees and catch up on my workouts. To say I feel blessed that DC didn't suffer too much is an understatement. I spent half my day trying to help my parents in CT find a place to stay with power. Here's a picture of one of the trees that went down on their property: luckily none of the trees hit the house!

This evergreen took 2 apple trees with it too.

Sandy was my first hurricane. I've spent the last several days operating under this weird combination of anticipation, excitement, and fear. But I somewhat managed to keep up the exercise! Considering that there were people out running along the Hudson River in NYC Monday, the least I can do is get up off the couch.

I've broken down my exercise by the day to better keep track of what I do. It's an arms kind of week: my hamstrings feel like they are about to snap they are so tight for some reason.

Frankenstorm

So I got one last run in yesterday before Hurricane Sandy hits us. Did a nice 5 mile run. Halfway through felt awful-you really do start losing muscle and conditioning after 72 hours-but I kept going anyways. Followed by yoga was clutch: I feel way less sore than I expected today.

Anyways, I have my water, I have my nonperishable food, I have candles and flashlights. Going through everything one more time. This is my first hurricane so I have no idea what to expect, but my Florida friend has been badgering me since Friday to prepare. Good luck to everyone else in the path of the storm.
