I did it two days ago. My arms still hurt.
As I may have mentioned yesterday, we had a cold & snowy weekend here in Marquette. And that prompted two things, the first being my TV piece this past Monday night. The second?
For the first time in over two years, there was enough snow for me to break out my cross-country skis.
Back when we had real winters around here I used to joke that the only way I stayed sane through the six long months was by going cross-country skiing. And while I haven't had many (actually, any) opportunities to go the past few years I did drag my skis down to Lower Harbor Park Monday morning, where I blazed my own trail and got quite sweaty over the hour or so I glided through the snow.
And maybe I shouldn't have spent a hour doing it. Why, you ask? Well, I answer, when I got ready to go on TV Monday night I had a little trouble lifting my left arm into my jacket. You know how, if you haven't done something for a bit, you should probably take it easy the first time back?
That's advice I didn't follow.
My left arm is still a little sore, although it did recover quite nicely yesterday. I don't know if I'll have the chance to use my skis again this winter, but if I do, I'll know two things--
Not to spend a hour doing it after not doing it for two years, and that my left arm will handle it a little better than it did Monday.
Speaking of Monday, here's that TV piece--
