Woke up "early" (0700), had a quick "brecky" then went to Anytime to lift. I managed to jam in everything before changing and meeting Mike Ripley at Key's for "more brecky". He's a terrific guy and it was good to pick his brain on career moves, etc. Also it was a good feeler to determine if I'd like to work for HIM someday. Spoiler alert: YES, I would.

After that my spirits were buoyed (compared to recent days) and since our Eveleth trip was jimmy'd by the snow, I figured I'd check out Willow River SP for skiing.

I skied for about 45 minutes and felt good. Good rhythm was obtained about midway through, though it was annoying to be polling into asphalt. Did the ol' whitetail loop then ski'd up to the campground and did three loops around that before returning to the parking lot.

I "felt" my knee slightly during, and it felt a bit tender immediately after/on the car ride home, but no soreness since then. That's a relief...
