Day 18 & 19

Day 18 Skiing at Marmot. Wednesday January 29, 2014
Really as far as exercise this is almost a gimmie, it's right up there with cycling in Jasper, or hiking. I have such a good time it doesn't seem like a workout, until the next day.

I would never consider myself either athletic or an athlete, and I suck at most sports. However I am a good skier and actually have won medals and trophies, I have both (and pictures) to prove it. Of course that was when I was much, much younger, but is really the only sport I was ever very good at. After I broke my shoulder mountain biking in Hinton, I wasn't sure if I would ever ski again. I had two surgeries that year, and was in bad shape and so scared of falling, the first time I went skiing I only made it a couple times in the morning. I am glad I kept at it, because I feel like I'm skiing better than I have in a long time and it is still my favorite exercise. Now I'm talking about downhill skiing. My day goes something like this: get to the hill at 9ish, ski till noon. Take an hour recovering. Ski from 1-2:30ish, take a half hour coffee/beer break. Ski the last hour. I was in bed by about 8:30.

Day 19 back at the Gym (Thursday January 30, 2014)

did Abs and legs today :(
I was so tired from yesterday I was just a whiner. I was glad when I was done! We did lots of abs using your entire legs as weights. Whew. I'll feel all that later.
