(Knit 1 Purl 1) x 3 sets
As the cornerstone of my pre-snowboarding-get-fit-strategy knitting has turned out to be a complete failure. Even with the no.15's.
I can't fit into my snowboarding pants and as I no longer cycle every day to and from work the only regular exercise I am getting is the daily currant-bun-run to the baker and back with a small tricycle and 11 kilos of attached-boy. The baker just isn't far enough to cancel out the currant buns.
Looks like there is nothing for it but to spend the next few days finishing off all the chocolate in the house before embarking on some sort of organised effort to get myself fit enough to fall down a mountain. Considering the wintery turn in the weather this may even have to involve a gym. Just when I was planning a cheese fondue for New Year's Eve.
This year, (or next year as it still is, actually, 2005) we are going somewhere new, Les Gets. Our first choice was a small Italian village but as full-time childcare for babies of Jacob's age was hard to find in any of these we have had to resort to something a lot less interesting but where we'll ALL be able to have fun. Jacob included. Besides all the obvious snowboarding-fitness-requisites I also have to build up the muscles in my throwing arm as we plan to make snow-angels with Jacob and I don't want any footsteps spoiling the photos.
