I miss riding in the warmth of the sun

like this (me having fun / doing a lap @ 24 HOA Holiday Farms)

Sweat, lunch & $$$ for Tucson

After work went to the gym, did an hour on the elliptical then an hour on the bike (random hills)....damn did I leave a pool of sweat at the bike..Nasty! haha
tonight, back to the gym for some more cardio

So it appears all 3 fridges @ work are fried, I bring my lunch - tuna fish sandwich but now there's no mayo - gross. Of course we work in the boonies and its a haul to any kind of food, unless you want pay a ton for some a greasy burger at restaurant across the street

so its $410 to rent a minivan in Tucson, plus why is it $100 more to fly out Thursday compared to Wednesday, and even more to fly out Friday. Ugh! I feel poor.

8 hours

ok, so I will be trying to put in 8 hours of cardio in per week. My plan is to get in 2 hours tonight.

planet fitness

signed up/joined planet fitness last night. Place is pretty big with lots of cardio equipment, but I wasnt impressed with the stationary bikes but maybe theres some upstairs (I didnt check that spot out).

30 min's elipitical & 30 min's treadmill & 20 on the bike

.......I feel so much more motivatated at the gym, surrounded by others working out & time goes by quicker being I do enjoy the "scenery"

bored @ work & a new gym

Ack! I am so bored, will it ever be 3:45? today was the in office xmas food/gift day........the food was so-so; buffalo wings and no blue cheese? nothing healthy! if I am eating super fattening stuff it needs to traste really good! come on people.

After work, I am heading straight to planet fitness in Albany, finally getting around to joining a gym - I hope they have some good cardio equipment there. I am so bummed my old gym just does classes now - I see there are doing an occasional 60 min spin class for $12...kinda steep when your saving $ for my trip to AZ. I should recognize a couple faces at the gym, including Lehigh (on my volleyball team) and KC (until he moves to NH).

I feel I am already behind on training...time to work on my dedication/motivation.

Just 8 weeks to my next race.

more slopes

Did Stratton ski area w/Dennis Sunday - can you say Gondola?

60 min on the trainer last night

skiing

Ken & I went to Jiminy Peak, night skiing....the places was so empty. The new skis were awesome! Definitely was fun.

World Volleyball Championships (Albany YMCA Fall division)

In semi Finals we won 2 in a row, but in the finals we lost 3 in a row. 2nd place in standings & 2nd place in the championships....not bad, and definitely fun!

ride pics from sunday

Awesome

A friend (Jackson) from Binghamton was going to be in the area and we decided to do a ride. We ended up at the Pine Bush, there was 2-3 inches of snow and most of the trails we were laying down 1st tracks! It was a blast to be outside riding! Some of the hills were tough but neither of us have studded tires....our ride time was 2 1/4 hours/ Then we headed to Ralph's for some good chow & beer. Awesome way to spend a Sunday afternoon!!

New Skis!

I picked up my new skiis from Plaines yesterday! I have been skiing on 15 year old straight skis, so I cant wait to try the new ones out!

I did weights & 35 min bike/trainer yesterday
