Succeeded in cross-country skiing in Kissena Park today. There was just enough snow that the skis really worked properly. I was only out for about 30 minutes, but I did manage to remember how to do it. Beautiful day in the park, too.

Then I came home and did some calisthenics. Okay, I've gotten my exercise for the day.

Went to Grace's kickboxing class Saturday. Was fun, probably won't do it again. I managed not to irritate my knee, but at the cost of missing a lot of the coolest moves. The Wednesday Pilates class with the same teacher sounds more like what I was after ( Read more... )

Did some downhill skiing this weekend, just shy of 13,000 vertical feet all together. It was great ( Read more... )

Got my voting over with early, gave my name to the sweet but extremely deaf old lady processing voters. It was difficult, but she finally found me ( Read more... )

It's sort of like swimming, except I don't get my hair wet ( Read more... )
