UPDATES
WoW it's been a while since I've posted here, just been busy with a lot of things - work, family, BNP. Instead of making individual posts, I'm just going to do everything in one shot...here we go!
Working Out?!
Who's working out?! Well I'm working out, yes I know it's hard to believe but I actually am. The way it happened was that I was looking around on Craigslist, then I saw this guy who was offering personal training in exchange for a website. So I emailed the guy and he was legit.
I get 8 sessions with him and I make his website for him. Not too shabby
- we work out at the Hilton on 53rd and 6th. It's a fitness center and spa (yea I ended up joining it for $75/month). I'm going there about 2 or 3 times a week, depending on my schedule and I like it, since it's really close and I go there during lunch to work out
I'll get into more detail about it in a later post, but yeah I'm working out!
Let's Ride!
WoW I haven't gone snowboarding in 2 and a half years! Last time I went was when I got my concusion and I think I got a bit scurred from that point. I hadn't gone this season yet either so my cousin invites me to go with him and a couple of our friends. I was reluctant but then he came to my house to pick up his board sharpener and then we ended up going out to buy some bindings and boots for me (since I gave mine to Dudoy).
It was Johnny (haven't seen this dude in forever), Dan, and Ody. We ended up going to Camelsmash (real name Camelback) since they didn't wanna drive to Hunter. The night before I was with the youth playing MAGONG and didn't get home until 4:30 and we were leaving at 6am. So I get home and I didn't wanna sleep but just layed there and knocked out for about 30 minutes. Man did I feel like crap when I was getting up - I hate that no sleep feeling.
I had a burger for breakfast (hahahA yes a burger!). We got there around 8:30 and there weren't that many people
. First two runs I was all over the place and I couldn't even stand up! But after that it was smoooooth sailing and was just like riding a bike!
I took a few jumps but nothing spectacular - in the process of the whole day, I banged up my knee. I usually wear kneepads but before I we were leaving, I only found one of them (the other fell behind the dresser). So I wore it on my right knee. It was fine until I fell on and my left knee was scrapping through the ice off a jump. Needless to say my left knee was battered and bruised.
Got a good amount of runs in that day, only times I fell were on the first two runs and off one of the jumps that messed up my knee. Ahhh how I missed the snow and riding sooooo much! I love it!
K will continue this update after I get some food, I'm freakin' hungry!
