I just got back from a trip to Kalamazoo, Michigan, to visit my family and attend my grandma’s 89th birthday celebration.  It was awesome!

While I was there, I got to go sledding with my nieces, who are 6 and 10, my sister, and my fiancee Mary.  We had the best time sledding down the snow-covered hills, and then sprinting back to the top.

When it was all said and done, everyone was totally wiped out, and starving!  Mary remarked on how hungry she was.

Sledding is one of those types of play where you just don’t realize how hard you’re really “working.”  You’re also challenging your stabilizing musculature, running uphill on a slippery, uneven surface.

So if you’re in a place where there’s snow – GO OUTSIDE AND GO SLEDDING!  Go every day!  Have fun!  You might end up with washboard abs in the process!
