Yesterday was a near perfect day in winter wonderland. Waking up without an alarm and going out straight after the morning tea.
Me and my little brother got the snowmobiles started and headed to the route that runs near our house. It was already something like 11.30am but we were the first ones out there. Pretty surprising because the weather was absolutely perfect, we have a lot of snow and Saturday is a day off for most people. We surely didn't mind being the only ones out there enjoying this winter wonderland with out sleds.
We only stopped once for pictures, because I don't want every great moment of my life being a full on photoshoot. The other stop was when we turned around, and my brothers sled got stuck and we spend about 20mins digging it out, fun times. I can assure you that even though it was -17 degrees Celsius, we were not feeling the cold, quite the opposite. My brother drives really fast and he had to stop once in a while for a little bit to wait for me to catch up.
This is the best kind of exercise I can think of, you'll get your whole body working really hard (and find muscles you didn't know you had) and the faster you go, the less you think about anything else. There is just something special having a machine like this between your legs and feeling the adrenaline pump through your body as you reach 80 km/h speed, ahh. You really have to concentrate on the driving, or the snowmobile throws you off really damn fast.
As we got back I was soaked with sweat and I had no strength left in my muscles. I'm so sore today and it might even get worse for tomorrow. I spent the rest of the day lounging around and taking some pics near the house, some of which you already saw.
Now I'm waiting for the sauna to heat up so I can go and try to relieve this muscle ache :D There is this apparently big thing called the Super Bowl starting in a couple hours on tv, maybe I'll watch it if I don't get sleepy after sauna.
