Mountain
Waking up in the middle of the night and looking for skid marks does not sound so far fetched at this point. Oooh, my body... I feel good though! Beat up, but good! I need new snowboarding boots. Definitely. Today ROCKED! I worked all weekend, so I took today off and went up to Meadows. It was a powder day! Fun! I hit the powdery runs a tiny bit, but I mostly focused on one particular run that had a few jumps on it. I made a few and I ate a few! But dang, I had two pretty nasty wipe outs!! I hadn't fallen like that in years! Of course I took a break for a few years, so that probably has somehting to do with it! :) The powder increases my count of cahones, so I dash down the mountain as if I don't have any breaks! LOL! But of course I wipe out when I stop paying attention or let go for a second. Not when I go at full speed, 'cause then I have no time to not pay attention or slack. Ah, repeat lessons! But it was still SO MUCH FUN! I LOVE IT! Of course, now I feel like I have been hit by a semi. Couple of wipe outs and still being out of shape and I feel like I have been chewed by the mountain and spat out. The helmet helped. I should have gotten those knee and elbow pads. Even if they didn't fit well, I think I'd have less bruises. BUT! Yours truly had a few good picture-worthy jumps! Yeay! My first good jumps! Pretty soon I'll have them be more than 2 feet of air. I WANT TO GO BIG! I WANT TO FLY! Right, gotta remember to wear helmet. Ok. Check. Ouch... Swollen finger. No, not that one! I heard you think! LOL! Ok, time to lay down and drown in the sounds of some relaxing music. Bed time soon.... Thank you, mountain! I love you! :)
