 | Soccer 30:00 [4] | |
| |
| tournament.
Due to a totally ridiculous lack of call on a blatant handball, (I think the other team paid off the ref.) we let a goal in, otherwise we would have won and eventually made it to the finals. And of course we had to lose to the biggest bunch of a-holes out there. ... ...but i'm over it now. |

Sunday Jan 21 |
| Skate Skiing 1:45:00 [3] | |
| |
| Went to Bretton Woods with my mom. Conditions were cold and the snow was windblown and crunchy. Better base than on New Years and it felt so good not to have to think about whether your putting your skis down on rocks or roots. Though we did manage to find a outer trail that they hadn't groomed, so we went backcountry style (on skate skis). Beautiful weather, not a cloud in the sky, the Whites were perfectly clear and looked as though there was not a breathe of wind on Washington (yea right.) |

| Hiking 3:30:00 [2] | |
| |
| Got dumped on last night with nearly a foot of powder (finally)!
Kristoffer and I met up with my mom, Greta and her boyfriend at the base of Moosilauke, at the Ravine Lodge, headed up the Gorge Brook Trail on snowshoes (breaking trail), but conditions were very cold and windy (4deg F wihtout the wind!) and about 3/4 of the way up, we decided that Loki was freezing his butt off, so we turned around and headed home before summitting. Took the snowshoes off and ran the whole way down.
Turns out the rest of teh group (they kept goign for the top) attempted to summit, but the winds were too great and they werent' prepared enough for the conditions, so they too, turned back.
A great hike nonetheless and it felt so good to get out in the wintery conditions! And hiking with snowshoes is a good workout! We were sore on Sunday. |
Thursday Jan 18 |
| Spinning bike 51:00 [3] | |
| ahr:146 max:170 |
| Finally got back on the bikes due to a training haitus caused by a few minor injuries and stress at work. Not much of an excuse I know.
Now that we know for sure that we're going to Florida for Swamp Stomp, we REALLY need to get training!!!! Long workouts planned for this weekend! |

Beautiful day, sunny and warm, 55 deg...still can't believe it's january. wtf. And to think we were skiing last weekend. |

Wednesday Jan 3 |
| Soccer 50:00 [4] | |
| |
| Soccer game, we won both due to the other team's forfeit (not enough players so they had one guy from another team (which is illegal)) and on our own, 7-6 against one of the better teams in the league.
Still feeling tired though, dragging a bit. Legs feel quite fatigued today (Thurs.) Not sleeping well and still recovering from the weekend perhaps. |

| C • train, don't complain 6 |
Monday Jan 1 |
| Run/Hike 2:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| Group hike up Black Mountain with everyone that stayed at the house over the weekend. The weather was pretty crappy, being foggy, drizzly and generally gross, but the hike was a lot of fun regardless. Slow going, running ahead, then waiting for the other half of the group to catch up, then run again, then wait. The weather on top was about Mt. Washington conditions on a normal day...so, gale force winds, gusts up to 50mph and blowing sleet, rocks were a bit iced over and footing was slick. Loki, poor guy, had his little rubber booties on and was having a "good" time getting over the icy rocks. He had fun slipping and sliding on the way down though (as did we!!)
A good New Years adventure... |
