In spite of the Arctic Vortex that has befallen on Alberta, last Sunday, a group of the club members met in Hawrylak Park. After so many rounds of cross-country skiing (in my case, two), we gathered, respecting social distancing guidelines as much as possible, to "uplift our spirits."
Thermoses with "grzaniec," known in some circles as "varene vino," started to circulate, quickly warming us from inside.
But the main attraction happened to be home baked bread, with schmaltz and pickles!
Elżbieta, known also as "Pani Kierowniczka," and her impressive husband, Bogdan, arrived at the right moment ...
... to join the others in the festivities. Altogether, this was a great initiative to combine physical activity, enjoyment of the outdoor and fresh air, with a social moment, so important in maintaining our mental health through these pandemic times. One should add that this initiative belonged first of all to our Vice-President, Mike, who, unfortunately, a day earlier, broke his leg while downhill skiing. It seems to demonstrate that XC is much better!
And great thanks to Asia who brought the treats. I think I will express the sentiment of the board when I say that Asia has much improved her odds of being pulled on as a club member (znacznie poprawiła swoje szanse bycia "wciągniętą na członka klubu!").
Until the next time!

with a bunch of people, and came to see you in Hawreluk Park. After 3
cross-country loops we decided to use some medication to cure our loneliness,
since nobody was there 😭.
Hope to see you tomorrow at 1pm. Don't be scared, it's not that cold out
there 😎

Tough and dynamic ladies! And where did they get this fantastic dog?
With the temperatures well below -25C (it was -34C when I walked my dog in the morning), it is hard to XC without reverting to some "medicina!"
