I missed my yoga class this morning, but I still got a good workout by walking from the metro in the snow and the wind. Later I’ll go shovel the front steps and that should complete my cardio requirements for the day!

Decided I need some work clothes and a Myriade latté. Got the latté, the first since December 22nd, the night before I went to Mexico.
