Worst walk ever.

My office is located at point B, my house at point A.

Usually I take the bus into the city to go to the gym after work and Andrew picks me up. Today I decided to take a rest day, so I walked home after work.

There’s no real direct route home (see blue line) so I decided to off road (see red line) around some fenced off power lines to make my walk home a little quicker as it was snowing/raining pretty hard. I’ve seen people walking that way with the dogs before, so I thought I’d go for it.

clearly I suck at using MS Paint!

We’ve got a whack load of snow this week in Ottawa, but its been verrrrrry mild.

I started walking, and was thrilled that there was a quasi established path. I started following the footprints of the person that started the path.

Bad news, this guys stride was HUGE… so I either had to leap to stay in his tracks or fall outside of them.

When I was unable to hit the track, I’d seriously fall through a good 2-3 feet of soft snow. I struggled the entire walk home, rolled my ankle twice.

It certainly didn’t help that I was carrying my very fashionable bag, and my work bag which kept throwing me off balance.

Top that with the falling snow/rain, it made for a very miserable Amy upon my return home.

  If I look at it from an exercise perspective, I got a decent workout as I was pretty much doing jumping lunges the entire way home, not to mention my core and stabilizers were likely working big time to keep me upright!

I’m already in my PJ’s on the couch and I plan to stay here for the rest of the night.

I DECLARE TODAY A DAY OF SLOTH REST!
