Day Five. Run, Stretch and Burn

Well I think we all know we had some snow! Where I live we get it quite bad, because we are on high ground with open fields we get a lot of drift. So my challenge was going be a tough one....Exercise for 20 mins alternating between 2 minutes running 2 minutes walking.

Me and the hubby had strategically left the kids with good old granddad for the night, we was hoping we would get snowed in. We had visions of sleeping for a week lol. But in the end we got our boots on and went to the road near us that in this weather you just cannot get up because it so steep and never gets gritted. But unfortunately it wasn't too bad, not like last year we had to dump the car at the bottom of the hill and walk home.

Whilst we was inspecting the road conditions I decided I will give the 20 minute exercise a go not suitably dressed for the occasion wearing my bear paw boots and my all in one jersey suit jumpsuit. I quite enjoyed it and did 5 lots of 2 mins so effectively half of the said challenge, it was just too slippery and knowing my clumsy ways and my terrible sense of balance I did not want to chance breaking something. Believe me I would, I bruise like a peach and break my bones easily I have broken nearly everything on my left side that's how clumsy I am.

So we rescued the kids secretly my dad wanted them to stay and they definitely did not want to go home, my Dad cannot say the word no to his grandchildren....Big softy. But they adore him and their nanny too.

So I got home. Cooked dinner and thought I haven't really done my challenge and had a burst of inspiration I am going to run up and down the the stairs for 20 minutes 2 minutes running and 2 minutes walking but up the stairs. Bloody good workout, hard though really hard!

Hope over to Tracey's blog see how she got on!
