x country skiing

I went cross country skiing today. Wooh! I am out of shape. I didn't get very far the first time. I got new boots last weekend for my old (1991) skis and bindings. I had one hell of a time getting the boots to click in. So today, I went down our snow filled steps very carefully with all my gear. I got down to the lake and tried to put my boots into my skis. I could not for the life of me get one of my boots in. How frustrating. I decided to go to the place where I had bought the boots to tell them my problem. After huffing back up the snow filled stairs. I took the dog for a ride to Piche's to get it all straightened. They are the nicest people there. Very helpful. After taking a look at my situation, one of the girls brought me to the back where a guy was working in the repair room. He put a little lube on it and fit the boots in and they worked. Yeah! He saved me about $50 trying to get new bindings. Rocky and I went back home and I went skiing on the lake. What a gorgeous day. I went for a little bit and then decided to turn back because I had to walk up the snow covered stairs again. By the way there are 84 stairs. Although when they are covered in snow you take about 4 at a time. When I got to the top I was ready for a nap. I really need to get on that elliptical so that I can go for a longer time. Have fun in the snow.
