After dropping off family at the airport I wore my 12# vest and hiked Pike Island at Fort Snelling State Park. It had been awhile since I’ve been there. There is basically no snow, but the rivers are frozen. It was a nice 4 mile walk!
Here’s the frozen confluence of the Mississippi and Minnesota rivers!
One third complete!
I did a Street Parking workout in the morning. Then we did other things and was out in the cold checking out the Art Shanty Project. It was tempting to just come home and relax into the couch. But I went out with 20# pack and did this week’s Tribe ‘N Training Ruck workout. My legs said I’ve done too much squatting! But it was a good extra challenge.
Woke up early and did a strength workout. And then later my sister, her husband and I went Cross Country skiing. It was basically both of their first times. We had fun and did pretty much the full loop at Wirth!
Later we went to Stillwater to view the World Snow Sculpture Champions. It was also the first time eating out while doing 75 hard and the Mediterranean diet. I was able to get a vegan pita wrap and a non alcoholic cocktail. It was tempting to get a burger!
My sister and her husband are in town. After work we went on a walk around the lake for my 2nd workout. It was a nice night and we saw the pretty sunset. I had left my phone at home so no pic! But it was a nice way to catch up with them.
The January book for Ruck’s Tribe and Training group is Tribe by Sebastian Junger. Below is from the introduction:
Today was a little bit of a scheduling challenge to get the 2nd workout in for the evening. But I managed to do it!
