I wanted to crawl back in bed, but I had a gut feeling that I'd be the one shoveling the walks. Score - since I was obviously not going to go running in this crud, I'd shovel the walks and let THAT be my exercise for the day. But no sooner had I shoveled two rows of snow, than a neighbor came over with his snow blower, and two of the neighbor kids brought their shovels over... needless to say, I was done in 10 minutes. Well, I have awesome neighbors, but I didn't get much exercise! So, that left me with two alternatives: I could go back up to my room and do Pilates, or... 
Yeah, these guys won. They wanted to go out and play in the snow so bad, that I didn't have the heart to keep them in. The backyard isn't that big, and they can only run up and down the yard so many times before it gets boring, so I put their leashes on them, and off we went! Just a mile or so was all we walked because it was snowing pretty hard. But man, I got some exercise! It's tough to walk in the snow! Most people hadn't been out to plow or shovel, so we didn't have a lot of clear spots to walk. Indy and Bo didn't care - they jumped in the big piles of snow anyway. So we trudged through a lot of snow. It's like walking in sand! I was as winded after one mile of walking in the snow as I was after having jogged at the gym last night! It's pretty, though... I like it when I can just LOOK at it, not have to haul it around or drive in it, hehe.
