Taper Interruptus

This Army 10-Miler taper week is interrupted for some early season ski stoke: I met pro freeskier Ingrid Backstrom last night!

I'm a geographically-challenged alpine skier masquerading as a runner and yogini. I run so I don't break when I ski, and I practice yoga and do Pilates so I don't break when I run. Thanks to living east of the Appalachians and south of the Mason-Dixon Line, I sadly wind up spending more time thinking about skiing than actually skiing. But if the stars align, I hope to hit up one of Ingrid's ski clinics in Tahoe this winter. 

Now back to tapering....
