Training progress

This weekend is going to be my second time on my skis. Last weekend there was a blizzard alert in the Sierras and all of us die hards were a bit freaked out about the weather...so we stayed in San Francisco instead.
On Saturday a few of us ski gals got together and walked just shy of 9 miles.....mostly in the rain! When we first started it wasn't raining....not far into our walk it started to all out downpour. We were already soaked through so we continued on.
We were out for over 2 hours and got a great workout in. Unfortunately my knee didn't like it too much....and the sad part was that it wasn't my bad knee...it was my good knee that swelled up on me and hurt. I was more than a bit concerned on Saturday night. I woke up Sunday morning with it barely bothering me and today it feels great!
Will I be on my skis this weekend? Heck yeah!
We are heading up for the weekend....the snow should be in abundance and so should the traffic unfortunately!
More to come later!
