Live A Life Less Ordinary

I walked outside this morning and wanted to die; and conveniently enough the weather had the same thing in mind. It was back on the bloody trainer for another butt numbing session of indoor work, (hooray!) Once that nonsense was out of the way, it was time to dust of the mountain gear and take to the hills for an afternoon of what I can only describe as pandemonium. There’s barley a snow cover at all in the woods, but the ski area has had the artificial stuff cranking out all week so there’s a good base coat laid down. I made the usual rounds; up the self titled Ninja Pass and then down The Other Run with my friend Bob from Switzerland. Given the icy snow conditions I was able to shave eight seconds off my previous PR. Other than having to avoid the grooming machines driving up and down the slopes, it was incident free and only slightly more butt numbing then the trainer workout. Tomorrow is back to business with another long day (let it be outdoors; please oh please) with the first specified efforts of the year. Hakuna Matata!
