SNOW!!


Ok, you have read the title, what more is there really to say? It snowed. A lot, actually, and I was really impressed. What was even more exciting than the snow I know, I know, is that possible?) is that we actually got to go skiing!! On Sunday Sarah took Corrine and I up to Bohart where the snow was really beautiful. It was groomed and thick and no dirt at all. We classic skied (there was no track, but it was October 12th, how much can you really complain?) for three hours! I was so tired at the end! Monday we went back with the team and did some skate skiing. It was super fun. We might even go again tomorrow.

Overall getting back on snow was amazing. My technique was nothing stellar, but it felt better than I thought it would. I can tell that a little extra arm strength would go a long way. Leg strength too, actually.

Other than the super fun skiing, we have been running and weight lifting a ton. Apparently I need new shoes because the ones I have now are contributing to a little bit of tendinitis in my ankle/calf. I am not too worried about it though. We went bounding this morning, and did intervals which killed us all! I am having a really good time and can't wait until it is really winter here!
