I shoveled the backyard

Yeah, you heard me. Instead of going out for a run tonight, I shoveled snow from a big area in the backyard for exercise.

Why would I do that? Because the weekend is coming, and I need for Stella to get outside. Another weekend inside is not acceptable.

Since our backyard is on the north side of the house, and there was still 5 inches of snow on the ground, my math said that it might last the weekend. So I took matters into my own hands. By Saturday, the area all around her playset will be nice green grass. Take that, nature.

And it wasn’t a bad way to get some exercise.
