So after Tuesday's incredibly fun time xc skiing, Kate and I went again on Wednesday. It wasn't quite as much fun; in spite of a regrooming, the trail had degraded quite a bit. Lots more grass, and ice in places. Plus, even though it was warmer, the wind was WICKED. I slathered on sunscreen (SPF 70) this time, but still ended up redfaced... windburn, this time.
Side note on sunscreen: every time I use my spf 70 sunscreen, I hear my brother-in-law Ryan's voice saying "70??! Why don't you just use PAINT?" Sadly, I have just enough melanin to avoid being classified an albino, but not a single cell more. This girl don't tan. evah.
Anyway, I digress. We still had a good time, and I didn't taste the trail even once! We only did about 2 miles, but it turns out that was enough... I think I literally creaked out of bed this morning. I'm movin' a little slow. Nothing specific, just very, very tired. Being the glutton for punishment that I am, we've got another trip planned for Friday - heading north for some better snow. Temps here are scheduled to be above freezing for the rest of the week, so our local snow days are numbered. For the first time in .... well, ever.... that actually makes me sad!
