Cross country skiing
After 4.5 months of clearing trails I finally found time in my social calendar to actually try it today. 20 degrees and snowing, it was beautiful out. I have to wear my very first AFO because its the only one that fits in my ski boots and I need it to prevent rolling my ankle. I did the 3 small cleared loops, tried to get to the back loop but numerous branches across the trail prevented that. Only fell onto my knees once when trying to herringbone up a 1 foot rise. Its pathetic how slow I ski now. 2 hours worth and I don't think I raised my heart rate at all. But I did doze in my chair after coming back. Life is good.
Sounds wonderful. We're going on our annual "ski" trip to northern VT this weekend. My first trip there post-stroke, I expected to be able to snowshoe, but no one would go with me. All my best friends from college, and not one would accompany me. It shone a light on how they actually viewed me, which was very disappointing because I thought I'd be able to. At this point, I don't expect to ever be able to even cross-country ski ever again. :(
