Damn this snow!
Denver just dug its way out of a blizzard, there are still piles of dirty, plowed snow everywhere, and here comes 12-18 MORE inches…wtf? Anyhow… today is normally a cardio only (easy run) day; but due to the pending storm, which is screwing up my training schedule, and being trapped in my house last week for two of my lifting days, I revamped my work out a little bit.

5 egg whites
1 whole egg
1 cup raw baby spinach leaves
2 oz. avocado

1 ALA

1 scoop Substance WPI, juicy watermelon w/ 6 scoops Lemonade Xtend

I have a carb re-feed on Wed. nights, so I felt really good during this run, even putting it after my strength training. I normally work at the gym all Friday morning, but wonder if they will close my facility again… I really hope not! I will have to do all the snow shoveling and removal at my place to get in some cardio! Peace~J
