So...I/we've been looking for some outdoor activities to do during the winter to help fight the fatness. We tried cross country skiing last month and I wasn't that impressed. Granted, I only went once and it was hard to transition from downhill skis to cross country skis, so it might be better if I gave it another chance. Anywho, I got snowshoes for Christmas. We had a pretty good trek up the Jardine Juniper trail in December. However, in January we ventured up the Sink Hollow trail and that was a lot of fun. We followed along side a cross country ski trail that looped around a pretty big area. It was so peaceful! Though people and snowmobiles were not that far away, I had the feeling of being totally alone out here. It was a great experience.
Other updates:
- Looking to go camping next weekend-like for reals- in the snow...we'll see how this goes.
- I'm also hoping to participate in a half marathon in October. Again, we'll see how that goes or rather how the prep for that goes.
- Going to Boston/New England area in April. Yay!

Love your pictures! And snowshoeing sure sounds fun!! You'll have to tell me how camping goes and I totally support you and your half marathon!!!! I want to train again as soon as I can distance myself from this baby for enough time to get a run in.
