Pinwheel Baby Quilt - Finished!

The Weekend in the Sun

Jason and me before our first ride

I got a sunburn on my arms this weekend. It was awesome! It's also pretty much gone now. Mountain biking in St. George was fabulous as I thought it would be. Kendra, Wendy, Jason, and I went down together to ride the Hurricane Rim loop. Sadly, about 7 miles in, there was too much mud to finish the 21-mile loop. So we did an out-n-back. Then Jason and I rode part of Bearclaw Poppy and part of Stucki Springs. I still got about 20-miles of riding in. Although I did take a little tumble and messed up my knee. It's still swollen today. My swollen knee messed up my plan for a truly epic weekend of mountain biking AND skiing all in the same weekend. I obviously got my mountain biking in, but I was too nervous about hurting my knee worse by skiing on it. So instead, I sat around in my house all day yesterday pumped full of ibuprofen with my knee elevated and iced, hand-stitching the binding on my next quilt and watching movies. I've gotta have it healed in a week and a half since that is when my first race is - back down in St. George. What a tough life. :)

Weekend in the Snow Before . . .

This weekend I played in the snow. I left work early on Friday to go cross-country skiing at Sundance with Janie. Then Saturday morning I went snow shoeing with Kim up Tibble Fork. The lack of snow for snow shoeing was almost comical - there was just enough snow on the trail to justify snow shoes, but it was so packed down and old that we probably didn't need them.

Next weekend, I'm headed south to do this . . . in 60-degree weather. I love Utah for this very reason.
