Snowshoeing


I just went snowshoeing today and it was great. It was the first time I went this year. Mostly because I have been afraid of the ice up to this point. There are trails in the woods but they are farther away. Usually I snowshoe by myself or with one of the other nurses (Jodi or when Donna was here). But quite a few other women met this afternoon to snowshoe on the lake. It was fun. The men meet every Sat and Sun and run with their snowshoes. It's really impressive. I can only run for a short while on snowshoes. I will have to practice. There is a man that makes these really narrow ones that are suppose to be the best for running. I have asked him before to make some but he hasn't yet. Maybe if he sees me trying to run he will. My Atlas ones work really well for walking and ok for running. But they hurt my feet when I wear my mukluks (that a lady made up here) and regular boots are so heavy to run in. Above is a picture of my mukluks and gauntlets. They are really warm. I like posting pictures. Ok that is all for now. Tomorrow I'm suppose to fly back to Winnipeg for a week off. Hoping to paint the hallway and touch up the kitchen. Will see if it happens.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure use of this font doesn't warrant comments. Try to avoid the colours that makes your blog hard to read. A headache was not what I wanted from sharing your experiences....

BUT I still love you.
