Gone Skiing



Reason #5,672 for a year round fitness lifestyle is it makes it easier to ski. Four years ago, I was starting to struggle to get my fat butt out of the chair lift. Bend over to adjust my ski boots? Forget it. And I was starting to burst out of my ski clothing, which I have had for many years.

No problems today. Have hardly skied since I started running (too busy training) but was all over the intermediate trails by noon. For me, that is good as I only have skied an expert slope or two either by accident *yikes* or as a very special occasion after two or three days of all day skiing.
