Playing Hooky

I was supposed to do a 12 mile run with Team in Training on Saturday, but Kevin and I decided to take a quick day trip up to Northstar @ Tahoe for a day of skiing/snowboarding.  After all, cross-training is an important component of training for a race!  Plus, we had free lift tickets and the weather was perfect for a day at the mountain.  I did have a (very real) fear that I would fall and break my leg and not be able to run in the race, but luckily I survived with no injuries - except for 2 extremely sore legs.  I skied and Kevin snowboarded.  I tried snowboarding the last time we were up at Northstar, but found out that I have zero balance required for snowboarding and switched back to skiing on day 2.  I think that my tailbone is still a little damaged and it's been over a month!  Here are a few pictures from the day.  You'll notice that there are only pictures of Kevin because he was snowboarding and I wouldn't trust a snowboarded with a camera - they fall too much!
