One down, five to go

Back on New Year's Eve, I posted about the six fitness-related activities I wanted to try in the next six months.

Victim #1: Snowshoeing.

I wanted to be out of the house on Saturday so I couldn't dwell on my cats' demise. So we rented snowshoes at REI and headed up to Snoqualamie Pass. (That's me with our silly golden retriever.)

Let's just say I know what I'm asking Santa (aka my mother-in-law) for this Christmas.

Fun, fun, fun.

Oh, and it's true what they say: If you can walk, you can snowshoe. Plus, it's kind of cool (in a "oh, I stood up too fast" kind of way) that when you take off your snowshoes after tromping around for a few hours, the loss of that extra foot weight make you feel like you're walking on air.
