Did I mention the amazing faceplant I did yesterday? Lost my heel edge going a goodly amount of speed and just WHAMMED right down on the snow. Every part of me that could make contact, did. My poor tits. I'm telling, ya. It was something to behold I'm sure. Nearly knocked the wind out of me. Naturally, I did this amazing thing right front of the instructor. He said, "Wow."

Went up again today. Took me awhile to get back into the swing of things. My legs were simply not obeying me. Everytime I got off the chair lift, I fell. Not a big deal though. I mostly rode the board out of the way a bit and then lost my balance -- mostly because I couldn't stand up! I nearly didn't make it onto one lift. That was embarrassing. However, the last run of the day (which really was something like only the third or fourth run) I felt like I was really finding my groove. I went straight down this very steep hill going very, very fast, unable to catch an edge. The mantra in my head was apparently also coming out of my mouth: "OhGodOhShitOhGodOhShit." I couldn't slow down and I bobbled a couple of times. Oh man, I would have been hurting sooooo bad if I fell. But I didn't. Not till it levelled out a little bit and I slowed down and collapsed. Major adrenaline rush.

I'm really hurting now.
