The good thing about watching the Olympic figure skating coverage is that I am getting lots of good ideas from Tara and Johnny for my wardrobe!

I think it's a good move that now skaters can use music with lyrics for their routines. This shows a willingness to evolve and move forward with the times. I look forward to seeing an accomplished pair of ice dancers dancing to the Allman Brothers cover of Willie Dixon's "The Same Thing.". They wouldn't even have to move much or do any jumps or stuff--they would just win practically automatically.

Mostly sunny today, which made for a nice change from a several day stretch of mostly gray weather, even if mostly sunny also meant no new snow.

I went up to go skiing at midday, and the parking lot was full by then--but I got lucky and found a spot to squeeze into. A half hour later, and considerable amount of parking traffic had spilled out to and along the Happy Jack road on both sides. Things are always busy during Wee Ski.

Winds had done some scouring of the trails, and what was left was fast.

Running followed skiing, and I added in the Crow Creek loop. All in all, I was out for about 3 hours. Quite a few bikers were out, and a number of snowshoers as well. Everyone was friendly, even the pair of snow bikers who snuck up from behind and tried to overrun my position.

Still not feeling quite 100% form having been sick. Close, but not quite there.
