rock star
so i’m out snowshoeing in the late afternoon at the retzer nature center, which is just down the road from our house. all things considered, it’s a pretty normal sunday afternoon for me considering i’m its “mayor” on foursquare. regardless, as i am making my way uphill i made my way past two hikers coming downhill who snapped a picture or two of my as i passed. no big deal. i guess i’m i bit odd or perhaps even interesting. as i make my way around the backside of my mile long loop, i find myself bounding down a long downhill and notice that the shutterbugs are snapping photos away at the foot of the hill. admittedly, i didn’t mind much but i did feel a bit self-conscious. as i turned past them, i exchanged pleasantries and went along on my way. i only wish they had been around when i clipped the inside of my ankle with my snowshoe a bit later into my workout. i let out a string of expletives that would embarrass the most eloquent of cussers. nevertheless, for the remainder of my workout i was a bit more focused on form and refrained from further verbose outbursts.
