2.21.18 - Three years later and I still have to pi 2.21.18 - Three years later and I still have to pinch myself!! Happy Gold Medal Anniversary to my teammate @jessiediggins and all our team that made this magic day happen! ⁣
⁣
It still sends chills down my spine just thinking about that day and that race.  It’s been so incredible to see the momentum generated by the gold medal and to see XC participation at an all-time high. ⁣
⁣
Our @usskiteam continues to raise the bar higher and I will be cheering my heart out for them at the 2021 World Championships starting this week in Oberstdorf!! ⁣
⁣
Taking a moment to relish this memory and all the people that made it so special. ⁣

All ready to take on my virtual Birkie tomorrow! All ready to take on my virtual Birkie tomorrow!  Currently snowing outside so it’s going to be a good adventure! ⁣
⁣
I’m predicting it’s going to take me somewhere between 3-4hrs so I’ve got plenty of fuel ready with @untappedmaple waffles and energy sticks.  For hydration, I plan to have several bottles of sports drink set up for switching out between laps, saving some extra caffeine for the end! ⁣
⁣
Tonight I had my traditional spaghetti dinner and waxed my skis with @optiwax glide tape.  For breakfast I like to eat a big omelette with toast and a big cup of coffee.  Then I turn my attention toward hydrating with extra electrolytes until the start. ⁣
⁣
Definitely missing all my friends in Hayward this year but so glad to be able to do my virtual race in solidarity!  Big high fives to all those who did their races today and best wishes to everyone planning to do their Birkie or Korte this week!!⁣

****************************************
Reposted @untappedmaple - We've loved our time visiting Hayward, WI and the community around the @americanbirkebeiner over the past few years. This legendary race has gone virtual this year and the ever-speedy, maple loving @kikkanimal is taking on a virtual 50km this Sunday from her home in British Columbia. To find where Kikkan gets her motivation (on and off her skis), head to the link in the @untappedmaple profile for a fun, insightful read. #birkiefever

It was -13C when we started, but with the right layering I stayed warm and enjoyed the crisp air.  My new motto... when in doubt, layer up and head on out!  Wahoo!! ⁣

World Cancer Day 2021! A time to reflect, evaluat World Cancer Day 2021!  A time to reflect, evaluate, motivate and appreciate.  It’s been two years since I was right in the throes of my treatment.  What I remember about that time was how much perspective I gained about what was important and what I was dedicated to doing to make the most of my treatment and recovery.  My son Breck, along with all the amazing people in my life, stood out as my top priority and my best motivation. ⁣
⁣
Today I stop and take a moment to remind myself to stay true to that commitment.  To spend every day engaging with my people, appreciating every moment, and making the right choices to support staying as healthy as I can for as long as I can...for my people.⁣
⁣
Raising a high five to everyone out there, doing what they need to do for their people too! 💪🏻💕⁣
⁣
Like my fellow cancer warrior Alison Hadden (@notimetowasteproject ) says “There is No Time to Waste”!⁣

I have been a passionate skier since age one, when I have been a passionate skier since age one, when my Dad brought home a pair of Fischer alpine skis. Fast forward to today and I still thrive on the feeling of gliding on snow.  After finishing my ski racing career, which I still can’t believe included an Olympic Gold Medal, 3x World Cup overall sprint titles and 3 World Championships medals, my passion for skiing is stronger than ever. ⁣
⁣
Together with @fischernordic we are going to be sharing my story and my passion for skiing through a four part video series.  Stay tuned to learn more about Kikkan, the lifelong skier, in our latest edition of #livetoski .

I feel out of shape! That’s what one voice insi I feel out of shape!  That’s what one voice inside my head is saying a lot these days. ⁣
⁣
The last 6 weeks have been a struggle as a back injury, busyness, holiday schedules and some general malaise have totally thrown me off my workout routine.  Because of the back injury especially I haven’t been able to keep up the regular strength routines I’ve always done twice a week, even through pregnancy and cancer treatment, and I can feel muscle disappearing around my ribs.  Ahhhh!!!⁣
⁣
While one voice inside me is panicking that I’m losing my edge, losing ground I’ll never get back, I’m trying really hard to listen to another voice.  A voice that reminds me that what’s happened has happened and I just need to be patient with myself to recover and get back to a place where I can start small and rebuild.  I am seeing small improvements every day and with consistency, I can work my way back up.⁣
⁣
It’s funny how no matter what we do, there is always the battle of the two voices.  Sometimes one is louder than the other and sometimes you have to employ strategies to help amplify that positive you-can voice.  A key playlist has been helping me a lot and friends that encourage and give me more to think about than how I feel.⁣
⁣
The new year is underway, no better time than to work back up.  Onward and upward! ⁣
