First XC Ski

Got my first xc ski of the season in this morning with Mark.

Since I've lived in Ottawa, this is the earliest in the season, that I recall, in which there was enough snow down to ski on.

I wasn't on skis, last year, until January - snow was an issue, but also a mending broken arm kept me off the planks as well.

Two years ago I was skiing on December 20 after a big dump of snow - everyone was stoked about getting so much snow, so early.

This year is unbelievable! I could have skied the last two weekends actually. However, a lingering flu/cold wore me out.

I was very happy to get out today. It got my fat arse out of the house and my mind out of the gloomy, unmotivated pit that it's been hiding in.

Sorry. No photos today. I took the camera with me, but the batteries died.
