iFitness Belt
A few years ago when I was at the Cap 10K expo, I saw these fantastic running belts. I was always looking for somewhere to put my phone when I went for a walk and this seemed like the perfect solution! I was right! I bought my first belt that day. I got a black one with a blue zipper, so that Mike and I could share. When I took it over, I realized I needed to buy another one. I bought one for me that had a pink zipper. Since then, I have referred several of my friends to get them and I’ve bought them as gifts. My friend, Kim, bought one that had a double pouch and I’ve always been a little envious because she can put her keys AND her phone in it when she walks. Well, my dog ate my belt, so I decided to order my own double pouch iFitness belt. I’m so excited and can’t wait to go out for my first walk today!!
Headed home!
We had a great vacation! Today was probably my best skiing day! All week I kept looking at the top of the mountain and thinking that I could probably ski it, if I could just get up there. I was really afraid because they don’t use normal lifts to get you up there. They use t-bars. I’ve never been on a t-bar and watching everyone go up the mountain on them made it seem really scary.
My first attempt to get on the t-bar was not successful. I watched Mike fall to the ground as he got on, so I was really nervous. I got a little further but somehow I ended up holding the bar with my hands. I could hear the guy that loads us tell Mike I wasn’t going to make it. I was determined to hold on until I saw how far I would have to hang on, so I let loose and had to ski back down and try again. Mike saw me and got off and we rode up there together.
I was right! I had no problem skiing down this run even though it was a black. Mike had no problem either, until he got to the bottom crossing area. He skied over his pole and ended up in the be careful sign. Luckily, he wasn’t hurt!!
Day 3
Looks like it is just going to be Paul and me on the slopes today. Mike woke up feeling really sick. We are going to take it easy today and stick to the easier runs, so I’m not going to go to the top of the mountain. I was a little scared anyway, so today will build my confidence and I will go tomorrow. For now, we will enjoy a few minutes at Starbucks before we hit it.
Breckenridge
It’s really pretty here. Today we skied all day. We did mostly blues and a couple blacks. Really, it’s a pretty easy place to ski. We did two mogul runs. Tomorrow we are going to take a t-bar to the top of the mountain and attempt to make it down. I hope the weather is nice.
I don’t think my “good looking super athletic” friend is going to try the top of the mountain because he fell down the entire mountain on the last run. I think he got hurt because he got really crabby. I wonder if I should have been laughing so hard as I watched him slide down the mountain!?
First Day in Breckenridge
Having not skied since 2005 or 2006, I think I had a really great first day of skiing today. About half of the day was spent getting here, getting skis, getting lockers and stuff like that, but the half we skied, we TORE IT UP!!!! When we were skiing down the first run, I was whining that my legs were hurting. I thought I was in better shape than this!! Luckily, after the first run, it all came together. I guess all those lunges have really paid off! For some reason my feet are really sore, but I don’t think I’m going to be too sore tomorrow! That’s a good thing, because tomorrow we will be on the mountain all day and we may go night skiing, too!
The very last run of the day, I decided I wanted to challenge myself, so I did a mogul run. I don’t know why I thought I was a professional skier after almost no sleep and skiing all day, but I did it! It was a lot of fun, but I think I will limit my mogul runs to about one a day.
By the end of the day, I was exhausted and had a head ache, so instead of going to dinner with the guys, I came home and went to sleep. I really needed the sleep, but I think I may be regretting that decision at about 2 in the morning when I’m wide awake!
I See Mountains!
We have been driving since 9:00 last night. Mike said he was going to drive 8 hours straight. Two hours in he asked me to drive. I got us through Oklahoma and in to Kansas. When I got lost I decided to give up my turn. I drove about 3 1/2 hours. After that Mike took back over and I slept. Paul is driving the final part of the trip. We made it to Denver so I guess we are about 2 hours away. I think we are going to night ski tonight. I can’t wait!!
Facebook and Twitter
I now have a like me button for Facebook. If your following my blog, feel free to like my Facebook page! It’s on the column on the right. You can follow me on twitter, too! Dazed66! That’s a whole lot of ME!! LOL!!
It’s almost time!!
Very rarely does the day go by at a crawl like it does on the day before we get out for a long weekend or a holiday! I love everything about what I do and look forward to going to work every day, so I’m not sure why I get so excited for a holiday!
Usually we try to go somewhere nice for Spring Break. We’ve been to Europe several times, we’ve gone to various beaches, Disney World and other random fun vacations in the past. Last year we didn’t get to do anything, so I am super excited to get to do something fun this year!
I haven’t been skiing since 2005 or 2006 when we woke up the day after Christmas and decided to drive to New Mexico as a spur of the moment trip! I’m pretty sure this is going to be just as much fun even though we had a little time to do some planning! I got new ski pants and a new jacket, so even if I’m not a professional skier, I’m going to look good, (that’s usually more important anyway)!
The only thing I’m dreading about the trip is the drive. I really hate being in a car for long periods of time. I’m just going to have to suck it up and find ways to occupy my time, though. I usually can’t sleep in a car, but I’m going to give it my best shot! Plus, I have my iPad and phone to occupy me! Technology rocks!!
Almost did it all!
Have you ever had so much to do that it just got overwhelming so you get nothing done? Well that COULD have been my day today, but instead I managed to get almost everything done. After work I had to run to the Apple Store, go to a PTO meeting, go to a Mary Kay party, color my hair, do some laundry, and pack. Right now, i’m sitting here writing his blog to avoid packing. I got everything else done.
I pretty much hate packing, it’s is one of my least favorite things to do. I never know what to bring because I never know what weather to plan for. This week is even going to be even harder to pack for because I have to two completely different climates to anticipate. Maybe I’ll just put it off until tomorrow. If I skip walking in the morning, I could easily get my stuff packed at that time!! I’m pretty sure this is going to stress Mike out, but I think that it’s the least stressful for me. I’m on overload and I just want to go to sleep now.
