Love Hurts. Loving Skiing Hurts More.
  I have often joked that skiing is a jealous lover. I spend all my money on her. When she’s around, all my free time is devoted to her, too. Friendships with people who dont understand her appeal fall by the wayside —in a way, she isolates me. If I’m up too late midweek, I still answer her call at 5:45...
Tank Top Running Vest: Ultimate Direction Xodus Fits Like No Other

How Cold Weather Saps Your Endurance
  The human body is an engine with efficiency similar to a car engine. In both cases, about three-quarters of the energy consumed is released as heat.

  The winters in Washington are known for one thing: rain. But if you’re desperate to get outside regardless (like I am), you’ll find yourself rummaging through the thickets in a steady drizzle for a place to pitch your tent (like I did).
