It was a little painful bending over to tie my shoes this Monday morning. It’s all good, though. I was just sore from playing pond hockey two days in a row, three to four hours per day, with my two young boys. Ponds don’t often freeze over thoroughly in the Washington, DC area, and last year when our pond did, it was ‘un-skateable’ with three to five feet of snow on it. This weekend it was skateable and we jumped on the opportunity, bringing out the old ice skates and hockey sticks.
