Some say that sledding is fun. Some say that sledding is dangerous and only for the fools of the world. I say that I am an idiot and sledding is fun... if you don't get hurt! I took my first run, in probably 20 years, down a road that is closed in the winter due to its steep slope. The locals of Woodland Hills use it for sledding, I'd say ultimate sledding. I was on a little blue saucer. Well, I immediately ended up sledding backwards. About half way down the hill, on one side, there is a HUGE jump. I hit the jump pretty square on, getting some serious air landing pretty flat with a little accent on my left sits bone... OUCH! The teenagers just below the jump looked at me in awe, probably wondering if I was going to burst into tears. I just gave them a thumbs up, they cheered and I went the rest of the way down. At the bottom, there is a little snow ridge, made for stopping, that I just plowed through onto the road below, STILL BACKWARDS! Even though I was on the asphalt, I was still moving FAST. The only thing I could think of to do to stop, was to just flatten myself out. This eventually stopped me, but my coat is pretty trashed. I am very glad I had on a fur lined suede coat, or I'd have some good road rash. Oh the joys of a family outing :) I am feeling OK right now, except it really hurts to sit, or stand, or bend. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings :) Life is good! Oh, and I did do more sledding runs. My husband watched my whole first run and was pretty sure I was finished for the day after the jump, but no not me! I need to learn how to ski!
As for the food, hmmm... I sort of went a little bit nuts at my friends house after the sledding. I ate too much food. I did earn a ton of activity points today, but much of my WPA is gone and I can live with that. I am going to ice my bum and try to see if I can keep tomorrows soreness at bay, a bit :) I think I am going to be out of luck.Friday, January 01, 2010 Morning |
