And I bet I would love cross country skiing- I've never been!

As for the snow, we may get a couple snowfalls after that, but it usually doesn't stick for more than a couple of days. You should get your skis! It is the closest thing to a "running type" workout for my money. I think my ankle is okay. I may not ski today to give it a break. Thanks! :)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-14244139897655461112014-02-18T09:28:11.879-08:002014-02-18T09:28:11.879-08:00Let's hope all the snow (and cold temps) is go...Let's hope all the snow (and cold temps) is gone by the first week of March!<br /><br />I love cross-country skiing but all my equipment is still at my parent's place in Michigan. It's such a good workout and a nice alternative to running. I'm glad you got out there.

Probably because I did a thousand heel lifts whilst skiing. It's always something. :)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1804307342977220552.post-32776360480501809412014-02-17T19:28:00.121-08:002014-02-17T19:28:00.121-08:00OMG this is one of the most awesome posts ever!
