Running Commentary

sliding take 2 January 22 2007

Sliding again yesterday.

No hot chocolate.

The kids were having so much fun, I decided to take a more active roll in the sliding extravaganza.

I went down the hill.

Nope, no pictures of that. Gee, sorry.

My descent was fast, cold and wildly out of control.

My first run was alright, I almost hit a storage shed but it was otherwise uneventful.

My 2nd run had me clip a jump in the middle of the hill,  I nicked it so it sent me off balance and I rolled the toboggan.

My 3rd and final run and I hit the jump dead on, which for some reason seemed like a good idea at the top of the hill. It really wasn’t. The sheer pain that shot up from my tail bone  was breath taking. I squealed once and continued down the hill. I went straight across the field and towards the park. When I finally came to rest, i was done, and besides Brendan wanted his toboggan back.

BUT! As I dusted off my fleece penguin jammie bottoms, Noah rushed over to me “Mom…mom…mommy? mommy? mom! mom! MOMMY?”

“yes Noah”

“You’re cool”

And he totally meant it.

Who knew!
