Sunshine!

My Goal for 2008: Is to do something active everyday, the minimum requirement would be a set of pushups and sit-ups etc..., so around a 10 min. activity everyday for the entire year!

So today I took the kids up skiing for a couple hours, it was fun Zach my 3 year old is doing awesome, i think he has picked it up faster than Carver and Taylor did at the same age! He does top to bottoms on his own and loves taking the trail through the trees or down the terrain park! Also on the way home I stopped to clear a spot for the garbage cans, and got stuck in the deep snow, so I spent a 1/2 hr digging out and also clearing the driveway at the red house, it was a good workout!

Went to early morning Pilates, a very good workout, only 2 of us there so she kept on us and pushed us hard! Heading over to the gym for a lunch workout! Went to the gym did a very good Spin class, good burn had a lunch to go to so wasn't able to get any TM miles in maybe tonight!

Went to the gym and did a quick 1 mile warm-up on the TM and then hit a Spin class, it was a good workout, I was planning on getting back on the TM but I was beat I am a bit congested today, and I have a late 11:15 soccer game so I held off!

Went up to N fork park for a good Skate ski, it was a tough one, alot of wind and soft snow from the warm temp. but a good workout

I got my daily activity in, even though it wasn't much, did a 20 minute ab/push-up routine, and then stretched for a bit, The last couple days I have had a nagging cough, and a headache, it has zapped my energy a bit, I also spent a couple hours snowblowing all the new snow and I think I enhaled to much snowblower exhaust which contributed to the headache!

Got another great ski day in! planned on being there only a couple hours and ended up leaving just before 2pm, so that will tell you how good it was! Another great day skiing No Name, Nick I skied with Anthony the whole day he was rippin it on the tele boards! Great time good workout and another big storm is forcasted for tomorrow afternoon! It has really put a hit on my running the last couple weeks, I feel guilty getting a total of 1 running mile in last week, but oh well I'd much rather have tons of SNow! I will make up for it in the spring!

Lunchtime workout at the gym! did a good Spin class it was a tough one, then went and jumped on the TM and did 3.25 miles 1st = 8:00, 2nd = 7:35, 3rd = 7:13, did burn it up but it burnt me up, it showed I haven't been putting the miles in lately i was beat, plus I have had a bit of a cough so that held me back a bit, but after i recovered I felt awesome it is good to RUN! i then went it to the sauna and got a good sweat in!

hopefully going to go to Pilates tonight with Nicolas.  Another big storm is knocking on the door right now!

Went to Pilates had a great session, good leg and arm workout!

This is getting to be a regular occurance and i am not complaining, another amazing powder day up at Snowbasin! would have been even better but had a goggle malfunction that made it impossible to see, it was snowing very hard all day! so due to the goggles I cut it short which was fine I needed to get down and get some work done! a great workout and my legs were feeling it from the previous nights pilates session!

GOT TO Love all the snow! can't believe in reading the blogs from St. George that they were basking in a 50 degree heatwave!

Went to the gym for lunch, got a great Spin class in Jen the instructor worked us, we had the heart rate monitors on that projected your HR on the TV screens at the front, soo that is always added motivation to keep pushing it hard, which I felt like i did! I then went out to do some TM miles and about 10 min into it I got text messaged from the Title guy I was having lunch with, so I ended it early!

I also have a late night soccer game tonight, should make for a good workout day!

another amazing day on the slopes, hit No Name just as they opened it and the powder was deep deep deep... unbelievably good! we are getting very spoiled this year and it is awesome!

Broke out of my my slump today of no runs outside: I hit the bench for a good 45+ minutes and did the 5 mile loop, it was great running outside, even though the conditions weren't optimal, loose snow and in some places very uneven and not packed down great! but it was still very good to run outside on the trails.

Also took the kids up skiing for a couple hours this morning, then they finished up the day with my parents skiing! beautiful day on the slopes, nice groomer runs!

Hit an early morning Pilates session, it was a good workout, alot of abs and hamstrings! hope to get some running or a spin class in later today! It is snowing again today, keep it coming!!!

Went to the gym for lunch, got in a spin class, took it somewhat easy, i have had this very nagging cough, that whenever i exercise or sleep laying down it kicks in! uhhg it has been frustrating, not used to being sick, it seems to have made a comeback in the last couple days... anyway it felt good to workout,

I also had a soccer game that i ran hard in, funny i am fine when i was running but when i would sub out I'd start coughing!

Got in a fairly good Pilates Session this morning, I tweeked my back last night playing soccer so it was not allowing me to do twisting ab stuff very well... but it was still a good workout.

went to the gym for lunch, got in a good spin class, was able to push it hard today without coughing, so hopefully i have kicked this thing! Then went and sat in the sauna for 20min, good sweat!

Went to the gym did 4 miles on the treadmill, felt awesome to loosen up the back, I swear I have more lower back pain when I do less running miles, it felt great to run. 1st mile= 8:30 2nd= 8:00, 3rd= 7:35, 4th= 7:25! Then I went and sat in the sauna for 15 min, for a good sweat!

Broke out the 1st Maui run this morning, hard to beat running in 65 degrees at 6:30 in the morning... ran a bit on the beach need to find a better route! went for about 1 hour

Another beautiful run! today I did 80% on the beach, it was good! went for an hour and pushed a bit harder than yesterday... on the way back I looked ahead and saw the bright orange RAGNAR shirt and knew it was Nick... I kicked it in and tried catching him and almost did but the last 50 yds I had to resort to yelling to slow him down... overall great run and now heading out for breakfast and more beach time!

Looks like we will be going home to more SNOW, big dumping on the way, hopefully we time it perfectly, what a great snow year so far!

Did the beach run pretty early it was still fairly dark and the moon was shining on the ocean, beautiful run... on the way back I did some sprints and then when i got back to the start I took my shoes off and did 6 sets of sprints about 100yds long each one on the nice sandy beach, felt awesome! I am telling you life in MAUI is SWEET! It is good for the SOUL!

Back to beautiful reality, went from 75 and the beach to 10 and a foot of snow in 24 hrs... you can't beat it! Spent and unreal day on the slopes today, atleast 18 in. of fresh powder, too deep in most places, needed steep to keep momentum... skied Strawberry most the day, great workout, great skiing, what a year of SNOW!!

Got a late night soccer game so should get a good workout in tonight!

After an 11:15 soccer game last night I didn't make it to Pilates this morning, maybe tomorrow morning... I did get to the gym at lunch and had a very good workout, started with a 45min. Spin class, good burn and then got on the treadmill for 3 good miles, 1st = 8:00, 2nd = 7:30, 3rd i went 1/10 mile at 6:30 and then a 1/10 at 7:30 and so on... enjoyed the run but I get very bored on the TM, i was hoping to do 4-5miles but couldn't do it!

another big storm is here! yeeeehoooooo!
