Sort of freaked out that I've really got to get myself in gear for DC. I've increased my daily mileage and have one 10 miler somewhat under my belt. I spent the rest of my afternoon teaching 11 years olds to ski. Although it was icy groomer the whole day, it was deliriously sunny. Nothing lifts your spirits better than an afternoon with 6th graders skiing through the magical forest and practicing 'french fries' in the bright winter sunshine. |
