realskiers

Wellll, I figured I had to get in a little bit better shape for RealSkiers III.? ? Not so embarassing to be left in the swirling snow by you and Gary and Michael; I expected that.? It was a bit more humbling to be unable to keep up with Midwif as well.? Going in I thought that she and I were about the same level of skier.? That is probably true on groomed runs (which is where I spend most of my time), but I was lost in the bumps and the trees.? Y'all gave me something to aspire to.

Also, the president of our company (he and I have been together 25 years now) had a heart attack early in the spring and had bypass surgery.? That was a bit of a shock, especially since he exercised pretty regularly; got me focused a bit more on my fitness level.? Found I had an emerging blood sugar problem, so adjusted diet (primarily Pepsi intake) and weight a bit and am trying to exercise more regularly.? Went for a 20 mile bike ride last Saturday without too much trouble, and that is a big change for me.?

Thanks for asking.? Back is fine, still haven't recovered all of the muscle in the right leg resulting from the nerve impairment, but getting better slowly.? Very much looking forward to winter.
