cross-country bliss!

Ahhh.... we got out today for the first time this winter for x-country skiing! We just went on a flat groomed trail for a few hrs, but it felt so glorious to be out in the fresh air, with snowflakes hitting our faces - ahhh...

I love the mild workout style of x-country skiing - it's a similar feeling to running, but without the continual impact on your knees and ankles. Keeps the heart rate up, but without making me feel totally exhausted. I really feel my core working, and my arms are moving, helping, propelling me forward - love it!

Looking forward to a 3+ month season of skiing! Sooo glad Nate loves it too, and that we're planning on going nearly every weekend that we're free!
