skiing

snow, always.

cross-country skiing as a child was such a challenge. I wasn't strong enough to get up the little hills, and the downhill part never felt long enough. but now… why is it now that I would rather go slow than speed down? I like the uphill parts because I can get up, now.

halfway through, I felt done. the wind was starting to scratch my face and the snow was icy against my cheek. can I just be done? can I just go back to the lodge and relax and be comfortable?

but I kept going. you have to finish the hard parts before you can relax & be comfortable. it's so easy to turn around and be comfortable. but the hard parts are the most rewarding.
