Impending Pain
October 04, 2006
The arrival of a new winter season brings so many things. Thoughts of snow falling lightly, laughing with friends on the chairlift, awe-inspiring views and, inevitably, BURNING THIGHS!
It seems that no matter how much time you spend in the gym, riding a bike or running you will be able to link 3 or 4 turns before you're writhing in pain wondering what ever possessed you to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to drive to the hill, wait for the lifts to open, and then ski on an inch of snow.
Then a few seconds passes. The legs feel good again. You love skiing again. There is no sport on earth that touches the exhilaration of skiing. 3, 2, 1, GO!
Arggh my thighs! I have to stop. I am in agony!
You remember this - be honest.
New boots - not much more to say.
I'll keep you posted.
Don't forget to stretch!
