48 days to go - A long day in the sun

Scheduled rest day. Having fully recovered from my cold, I had intended to put in some running today to catch up on last weeks missing miles. Things just did not work out that way though and we ended up putting in a long day on the mountain, then rushing back to go out for a delicious meal at the Main Street Grill in Eagle with Beth and Spencer. The weather today was fantastic yet again. Unfortunately, I forgot to put on my sunscreen this morning and my face was the color of a well cooked lobster by the end of the day. I cannot decide if snowboarding is a valid substitute for running, I am sure that it is effective as a leg strengthening exercise, but I suspect it does very little for cardio-vascular fitness. I am beginning to think that this may be the first winter holiday I have had where I will get back home less fit than when I left!
