Yeah what comes to mind most this morning is how much I managed to beat myself up this weekend. My friend Matt couldnt join us snowboarding, adn I was a little afraid Wes might decide not to go, but we went. With the extra tickets though I put the word out and anotehr friend of mine was excited to come along, but flaked, so it was Just Wes and me. He woke up not feeling well and took his time getting out the door, so we left later tahn I wanted to, but we made it in only 3 hours (I drove the whole way there). We even got a hearty breakfast and took our time getting rockstar parking at the resort. Then I was able to sell the unused ticket- for a profit even at the line for tickets. THen we managed to skip a huge line and get discounted rentals. Wes had no complaints on the rentals this time, besides taht they were strap-in instead of click-in bindings, which can be a pain if youre not used to it, or out of shape, since you have to bend over and strap yourself in with your hands every time. But they were all burton brand, so good quality. THere was only one major buny hill slope run, and it was a bit crowded, but it was long and just the right amount of steap-ness, so it was nice for practice. We both were not used to the conveyer-belt style lift entry and that threw us off, and then of course I only made it off the lift twice without falling. A couple times it really hurt, but not enough to stop. WQes was in a pretty bad funk all morning and almost didnt board, but I think he had fun in the end. It will be be6tter once he gets his own gear. In the afternoon I was going to do one more run when I was sitting to take a couple photos and unstrap myself when a child on ski's couldnt stop and I was the obstacle in his way. I ended up with a pretty decent soreness nad bruise above my knee. But I did my last run anyway. Then I really wanted to check out some cool places in tahoe, go somewhere , see something other than just the resort, but Wes was beyond exhausted, so he drove us home. I fell asleep in the car for the first hour or so and Wes ended up taking another route, which got us homean hour later than expected, this kind of peeved me cause i was really bored and stir crazy- just done with being in the car. Once home we relaxed, watched a dvd and i was surprised though at how awake and energetic i was. Not too sore yet. Sunday morning I was very sore, but wiling to push through it. It was super nice out and my car was really dirty from tahoe, so i decided to wash it. I was having so much fun in the sun with the water i decided to hose down the stiars- NOTE TO SELF- do not hose down stairs while wearing flip flops. That right I almost died. It was slippery and my feet came out from under me and i decended four or five teps with a big fat wollop to my arm and back. I let out a loud yelp and was able to atch myself before plummeting down the entire flight to my death. I sat in shock for a minute trying to decide if i was badly hurt and wes came out, he was concerned and i was rtying not to cry. he reminded me not to wear those kind fo shoes and i stood up, okay. I finished hosing the stairs, without shoes and put everything away. The final insult to injurty was the cat scratching my leg- thats more of a sting than a dull pain. I knwo Wes was sore too, so i tried not to be too much of a baby. Today my back hurts, my knee hurts, my arms hurt, im just sore allover, but if i had the chance, id go again tomorrow.
i ate poorly saturday during the day, knowing i would be excersizing, but am still pretty motivated. i really hope i can see a change again soon.
thats all i really have to report today!, that was a lot actually.
