Erin Moening

We really got lucky with the snow early this year. We got to ski on the first day of practice for the first time ever in my high school career.  Now we are hitting December, we have no snow in the sky,  and it is warming up. Want to see Saint Paul's forecast for the weekend? This week I finally got to do my first high school race of the season, and I had so much fun. We went to Wirth, which only has a 1k loop, but we did a relay race, and I did it with my old friend, Mimi. Here is a picture of us from 4 years ago, when I was a 7th grader and she was a freshman. Me and Mimi! Not much going on besides this weekend, if the snow doesn't melt, my dad and I are competing in a race up at Elm Creek...... watch out for the Moening Mafia! Oh and next weekend is Maplelag! Some awesome team bounding on the way! Now lets just hope that they get snow! Not much snow for Maplelag..... ;( Cousin Party! Sarah and I Libby and I make the most out of the snow melting, tough 5

Entering December the ski season has been going on for almost a month now, and we really lucked out with the snow we got on the first week. It wasn't much, and is less now, but we've gotten to ski almost everyday. One bummer is we haven't really gotten to race yet. Well today my teammates get to… but I'm at home sick, so I'm hoping for a fast recovery so I can get back on the snow! My Cousin, Sarah and I Before I got sick, training had been going really well. I was skiing 6-7 days a week and doing about 6 strength workouts a week! While both of Highland's boys and girls teams need some work (and some endurance training! :) ) I'm thankful that I have some competitive teammates that have been pushing me this season.
