I didn't go for the 1hr run on my training plan this morning. The training plan doesn't work out to be so much of a set of laws as a series of recommendations. Especially when I am at home and it makes sense to alter the training plan a little to get to do more activities with my family.

Today's alternative workout was stacking wood with my dad. My dad was into using a wheel barrow to most efficiently transport the rounds. I was into hucking them as far as I could towards the piling site. My way was more fun but also harder (actually, maybe that's because it was harder). I got tired. So then I agreed to wheelbarrow the rounds that I did not want to lift and throw five feet only to lift and throw five feet five more times. Don't worry, I made sure to alternate which side I threw from to get an even workout! And in the end we had a full woodshed and a nice wall of rounds 10' wide and 8' tall (for the last few rows the stacking mechanism is I throw the rounds to my dad and he places them since I can't reach anymore).

I forgot my camera otherwise I would provide you a picture of the beautifully stacked wood. To mitigate that here is a photo outside of where I will be living in Anchorage courtesy of Sally Burkholder!
