LETTING OFF THE BRAKES -- Too Much

Skiing was fun -- I'm a bit out of practice in that activity, this was just my second time on the slopes this year.

Second run, I got a bit overconfident (remember my earlier blog about being dangerous to ourselves). Going fast, trying to go faster by reducing turn radius. Oops! There goes one ski, now what? Result: face plant, right under the lift. Since it was a groomed slope, my face went down on unforgiving, groomed snow; OUCH! End result: sore pec muscles this morning -- it WAS a full, spread eagle, face down on the slope.

Pushing the envelope is a good thing sometimes; but, I am reminded of a valuable lesson (one I teach all the time). Don't push the envelope so far open that you fall in.

Enjoy your day,
