Math

No access to a treadmill means my 10 miles per week desires are not being met this week. However, I've been pretty busy, so I wanted to start figuring out what was going on...

For every hour of shoveling snow I burn a little over 400 calories.
That means that shoveling is the equivalent of running 4 miles per hour.
I've shoveled for 2.5 hours today already.... that's 10 miles today!!

So.... I win?

Total win. You've accomplished your goals for the week in one day. Time for some cookies and hot chocolate.

There has been a record amount of hot chocolate drunk in our house over the last 7 days. So yummy!
