'Twas the day before the day before the
day before Christmas, and blog readers all over the world found
themselves busy buying Christmas presents, stocking up on Christmas
booze, cooking Christmas food and generally living their lives out
there in the real world. The Internet was slowly but surely going
quiet. But when you have something to say, you shout it out even when
the world can't hear you over the noise of a billion jaws munching on
Christmas cookies.
World, I did it! I went skiing, and I
skied down a short but steep slope, and the first time I fell but the
second time I didn't. It was close. My left ski left the tracks and I
was dangerously close to doing a split (which would have been
terribly uncomfortable, as I am nowhere flexible enough to do a
split). But I kept my cool, didn't panic, and calmly brought my left
foot back into the track.
In my head, I looked really awesome
and professional. In reality, there was probably a lot of flailing
arms, screaming like a baby and pondering the existence of an afterlife. Still, it was a little triumph that
did wonders for my self-esteem.
My right calf has been inexplicably
tense the last few days, even hurting a little yesterday when I went
out for a walk, so I've been massaging it like crazy. Hopefully it
will be fine tomorrow, in time for an easy run with AIK. No more
injuries now, please!
