The neighborhood I live in has the standard power poles (my company's poles btw ;-)) that supply power to the all the homes. The cool thing about this is that it offers a great opportunity to challenge yourself when running. Since I'm still recovering from my spill at my basketball game on Friday, I decided to do a bit of running this weekend to burn some stress and clear my mind.
While running, it's simple and easy to sprint the distance between one or two poles, then jog one or two, and then sprint again... My dog and I did this over and over for about 3 miles and it was FANTASTIC. I hate running just to run, but this made it much more enjoyable to me and my dog. It also offered an amazing HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout, which has been proven to burn fat more effectively - think sprinter body vs. marathon runner body.
It felt great to get out and sprint outside again. The weather break and upcoming spring season is making it easier to get outside and workout, and I can't wait for the weather to finally be nice again!
