legs

My legs hurt, a lot.. our Nordic ski teams assistant coach, bob, has us doing crazy core everyday.. its a deck of cards worth of pushups, sit-ups, dips and jumps.. each suit is a different excersise, so a 9 of clubs would be 9 sit-ups etc.. if my calculations are correct, we do 99 of each thing... thats 396 total.. its brutal, but i like it. 


anyways, i say this today.. holy shit, ii hope this girl is okay

yaaaayyyyyyyyy sskkkkkiiiiiiiinnnggg!

i think i yelled "Yay skiing!" like 50+ times today.. i love snow, i love skiing.. conditions wernt prime, but there was just enough snow to make skiing possible. it was pretty awesome watching everyone on the team just skiing around (or trying to ski).. Bob, the assistant coach from sju, skied with josh and i; we skied for a solid hour or so, pretty hard. if consistent training becomes regular and bob drives us to train then this might be a pretty good season, maybe i won't keep state out of the picture after all.. plus, after practice me and bob drove to the fire-hall and did a good 40 min of core (thats another thing that will help, he has us do crazy core everyday).. i am sore. then bob left and i ate squash with my dad and watched the history channel :) today was a good day. i love skiing. 

Snow!

So today i biked to work knowing that it was going to snow.. and it did snow quite a bit..
the ride home was super fun, even though it was nerve wracking when i was on busier roads because not only did i not trust the cars but i didn't trust myself, my tires don't have that much tread and so its pretty wishy-washy trying to bike through car driven snow terrain (i only ate shit once) ... but when i was on a path by my house, the fresh pow up to my shins and my back tire sliding around, it was a blast :D
Also, today i did not eat one thing that was healthy.. so many mini cinnamon rolls.

A blog

Today, i decided to blog.

i would be able to use it as sort of a journal or place to post random videos or whatever i want..

Anyways, the idea came around when i was riding my bike this morning so here is the story; 

I went on my first 'gravel' ride, i took me about an hour and a half and i would guess it was around 15 to 20 miles. I was really looking forward to the ride for a bunch of reasons, because i was stressing out over our cc awards banquet tonight and because i was really interested in gravel riding and i decided i like it a lot. 

It was awesome, until about half way through i came across a van of hunters who were slowing driving along the gravel road and reminded me that it was deer hunting season! There was an annoying and rude lady driving, and her (most likely) son and other passengers had their guns in-between their laps which is super illegal. i wish i had thought of it right away so i could have called them out on it or gotten their license plate or something.. but regardless, i was sorta mad at them for ruining my ride because for the rest of the time i was very nervous because i didn't want to get shot.. I came to the conclusion that i wasn't too bad, i had an orange bike.. but the off white jacket and helmet most likely didn't help.. 

Good thing i didn't die.

And that is why i decided to start blogging maybe
