3 things we should know about you?
- Winter is my favorite season, I love all winter sports and play on several hockey teams in addition to my cross country skiing addiction and soon to be snowshoeing obsession
- I ALWAYS have gear in my car for spontaneous outdoor activities – in fact my skis are still in my Thule carrier on top of my car (just in case!) and I have my road bike and running gear ready for my lunchtime workout.
- I am super stubborn and hate quitting so sometimes this can be a problem if on adventures and weather gets bad or time is running out….I usually want to press on while others in my group want to bag it and head back. I like to meet my goals whether it’s the end of a valley, top of a peak, or a set distance. I am working on this – especially when kids are in tow.
