Yesterday I managed to succeed in my quest to get to the mountian. For me, skiing is one of those things that, while I'm doing it, I can actually BELIEVE that no matter what happens, no matter how things turn out, I'll be OK. Other times that's just something to repeat to remind oneself, intellectually knowing it but still having to convince oneself.
I also managed to hit the weight room beforehand, and hit the treadmill at home (the one the wife had wanted so badly but hardly ever used). So all in all it was a good day.
Today, despite another round of snow, I made it to the pool for a 2,500m swim. The entire base was on a 'late start' (just like school, if you ever had snow days), but then my unit decided just to call it a day - right about the time I had showed up. In the past that might have frustrated me more, after having made the effort to get here through the traffic and craziness. But today I just had to chuckle. I got a couple lower priority things done with the quietness - but now I figure I'll head home and enjoy the afternoon at home. Get some stuff done there too...
