Didn't do nearly enough riding to warrant a mental break from it.

Snow has finally arrived out here, but by the time it arrived I had family in town, then got sick. First day of XC Skiing was about a week ago and I found it quite enjoyable (just a 45 minute training session, first time doing the classic style). I picked it up quite fast. But then the age-old injury to my ankle flared up that night and the next day. I didn't consider that there was a lot of ankle motion and flex and apparently my ankle isn't quite up to that level of flex. I am hoping that the more I XC ski, the more flexible my ankle becomes. I scheduled an appointment with a Dr. to see if there is anything to be done about said ankle, only to come down with the Flu. Today is my first day back from the Flu, though I know I will be weaker then I was a week ago due to the fever I've had.

I've hardly skied this season either, partly due to conditions, partly due to illness etc. Hopefully back to normal for me next week. I also need to start getting on the bike (on rollers) and start putting some time in on that. I may try my planned morning route on the XC Skis tomorrow to see how that route is. It only opened up recently.
