Cross country skiing

A bright starlit sky above a crisp and silent winter evening. Freshly pressed tracks in the soft newly fallen snow.

Fancy a run in the dark on an icy, rock hard, slippery pathway instead?

No? Neither do I.

I couldn't care less about running right now. So I'm swinging those poles and kicking those skis. Doing a rhythmic pendelum movement from side to side. Listening to the swishing sound of my skis on the soft surface. All thoughts fade away. Pure transcendence.

Cross country skiing is an irresistible activity during winter. Get a pair of skis and get out on the tracks.
