Exercise and skiing

So since the snow has come the bike has been disassembled and put away. With the bike gone I was out of my main exercise method. I tried to ride a stationary bike bit after 15 or 20 minutes I get bored and realize that I could be half-way up ester dome or somewhere else. I've been putting off exercise, maybe walking home from school once or twice a week and not really climbing outside of my class. That was until today. In my outdoor leadership class we learned how to classic cross country ski. It really kicks your ass. I worked muscles I haven't used since i skied as a little kid and man they are screaming. Th class was 1 hr 30 mins long and then my austrian counterpart and I decided to do the 6 mile loop. I cant remember the last time I worked so hard. So now I have a new way to get in shape and have a fun time dong it.
