Your hoddler-in-chief doesn’t like that he missed his workout tonight. A combination of getting home late and trudging through the ice-covered sidewalks, frankly, took it out on him. I’ll have to make a decision soon on how I make it up: standard medium-distance run, a tempo workout, or a combination of the two somehow. Either way, it’s a treadmill kind of week.
But that’s not the point of this hoddle. It snowed in DC this week. And while commuters like me are having a bad time, the pandas at the DC Zoo seem to be having the time of their life.
Look how fun Bao Li and Qing Bao are having!
Is that not cute enough for you? Well how about this red panda?
These are the kinds of snow days that I can support. I mean, just look at that freaking red panda. I might’ve spent a little too much time watching the video of the pandas playing in the snow today, but that’s only if you believe there is such a thing as watching too much panda snow playtime.
