A good tired
Well, actually I'm pooped, after two days of skiing for a couple of hours each day on a trail familiar to us as bicyclists (it was challenging last summer, too).
There was a LOT more uphill on both sides of this trail. Yesterday, we went up from the interior of the park, today from the Saint Fabien-sur-Mer side.
Today, about an hour into our skiing time, I felt totally exhausted. Returning down the trail, I realized why.
There was a lot of uphill, meaning a lot more effort for arms and shoulders, not my genetic strong suite, but hey, I'm building up? Uh, I did go to work out on weight-machines all fall at the Y. Hmm, I'm still wimpy, I guess.
Lots of inspiration out there to keep it up!

The last thing I would call a woman who does all you do, in those temperatures no less, is wimpy. You are a brave strong woman daring to enjoy the cold and beauty of your winter home. Enjoy my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the affirmation, Lauren! You're right, I'm really not wimpy, all things considered, and I do try to put myself out there for many things, in spite of being often apprehensive and anxious about it -- it's almost always a good thing.

DeleteWhat a great phrase! I didn't know it, so looked it up--makes sense.
I'd say you are a hardy soul.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the vote of confidence!
