Yesturday I broke out the cross country skis for the first time this season, and headed out to Elm Creek with some friends. I was surprised at how good I felt.... Very little huffing and puffing involved. It was a bit windy in some areas, but overall a great day to be outside skiing. Afterwards, we headed into the chalet for some jam filled scones that I had made that morning. To my surprise, they were still warm even while sitting in my 10 degree car!

To celebrate how great I felt after skiing for the first time in months, I decided to take Charlie out for a run.... I don't know what I was thinking. This morning I woke up and found out that yes, i am infact out of shape. My hipflexors were screaming! I guess I shouldn't have been so ambicious after all.

I am happy to say that I am writing this on my laptop! Yippee! After weeks of not having it around, I realized how much I use this thing. It is well worth investing in a 3 year warranty if i do say so myself. Basically, I got a whole new computer for free. They replaced my screen, battery, keyboard, and mother board. It couldn't have come at a worse time.... Finals are here, and that means my stress level is at sky high levels.
