Just when you think you're hardcore......

A little inspiration this summer from some winter athletes..... reminds me of my younger days, when this WAS my summer routine (though I was too chicken to try much racing or obstacle-coursing on my roller skis).

Off season, what off season? For the whole story:

Hey Amber, thanks for the advice. Today is a totally different story. I got a solid, painfree run and ride in. It's usually just the first day. But yes I agree, running usually helps, even when you feel like you're going to throw up.

Enough girl talk. You guys are doing IM Canada I (over)heard? Is that right? Carazay! I am still befriending myself with the fact that I will be doing one myself. Ha. I am free now to go on LONG rides, if you are still squeezing some in, let me know, I am game! Oh, and I added your guys' blog to my roster :-)

Loved the photo... BUT - a good reminder that rollerskiis don't have breaks. ALSO - when clearing obstacles - like cracks in the pavement - its not so much getting the FRONT wheels over, but the back ones. :)

Yep, I've crashed a few times while rollerskiing. Not so fun. :)

Thanks for the support!
