Thanks for reading, Katey, and let me know how the subscribe process goes; I've never done it myself on this site.

One of the best days of skiing I had was,y myself, at A-Basin. Conditions were perfect – bright sunshine, clear skies, warm (in the 30s) enough to turn the snow into a creamy texture like frosting or soft butter. No one I knew could come ski, so I went alone.
I was able to ski wherever I pleased. No lift lines – ski on and off, and I rode the lift alone most times. I explored the Montezuma bowl, delighted in perfect snow.
It’s hard to believe, after a crowded weekend like the last one, that I had the mountain almost to myself that day.

Rosemary, thanks for checking in! Endorphins can be pretty powerful, for sure. I have had the lovely experiences many times of getting the “runner’s high” of a great endorphin rush, though have to say that this time, it was nothing like that. This was a pure, powerful, spiritual experience. I am grateful that I was moving at the time; it gave my body something to do while my mind and soul detached and went elsewhere for a little while. I’ve had several moments such as this, but never when I was running. Always room for more “firsts” in my life though!

WOW, I guess this is what true runners are talking about when they say the endorphins kick in. To me, this sounds like torture, but I do get it about exercise being the first line of defense in maintaining emotional balance. I get this from yoga and another more aerobic workout that I do, but, for me, running has always been like dragging two heavy telephone poles along instead of legs. Guess that doesn’t matter tho–it’s getting in the zone that does–

Blog babe here. What a lovely descriptive and honest post. I’m not a runner, more of a walker (bad knee). But just getting outside and breathing the air and moving the blood around does wonders for my attitude. I find the muse loves me more when I am doing something like that. She especially likes vacuuming too. I wish she’d just step up and take over that chore. Then I could get some writing done uninterrupted. Nice blog! Inspiring writing. Keep it up.
