Playing Hookie

Yesterday I used a vacation day and went snowboarding. It was beautiful and sunny, about -10 degrees or so, and it was Ladies Day at a nearby hill. The package day deal was transportation to and from Calgary, a lesson, lunch, a stretching/pilates workshop and the afternoon on the hill to do what you please. It was terrific! All the other ladies were better snowboarders than me, and trying to follow their lead down the hill pushed me to get over some fears of steeper terrain. I think I am off the bunny hills for good! I still have a lot to work on, but I am happy that I can tick another day of fun off the calender as being injury free. My goal for 2007 is to have something like those worker's safety boards at manufacturing plants - Injury Free for 31 days! (I have a few bruises, but if we start counting bruises as injuries... well, it's just not feasible!)
