Lapham - black loop - with my new ski friend, Rick

Beautiful as always, a bit sticky. (actually very sticky, it really messed up my pole 'cups'?, cause once my pole got so stuck it pulled me backwards ;) so funny! It was also very cool and energizing to ski with someone else, and met some people that volunteered for Jeremy Camp concert, that I didn't go to.

Note; very important :) : I did NOT have the breaks on at all on the big slide. Oops, I guess i didn't time myself, but for sure less than 75secs :)

Lapham

I got there late so I shortened the black loop and cut through the purple trail next to buttlefly garden so i can make it during daylight. Then did another whole lit loop. Awesome!! Got to see a beautiful sunset every time on top of a hill and the full moon! oh, oh, and I made the second part of the 2 tier up with no stopping (uh, yeah, I had Deep Purple cranking - same song I used to run up same hill :)

So, now I feel I need some help with using the poles, as I just can seem to know how to use them, they're sorta in my way. Btw, after shortening the straps, the hand is not hurting.

Oh, and the whole time I could not get this song out of my head Kanye West : Love Lockdown. They play it during abs in body pump class, and it's got a catching beat.

Brown Deer Golf Course - sunny, a bit chilly (26F, feels like 14F)

I scouted it today first time, nothing like the lapham or green bush, scenery wise, but a good workout. Oh, no hills, or very tiny ones. I got a loop in, no clue how long, next time I'll take my garmin with me to map the trail. I can;t believe the charger for my Garmin has DUST on it!! Whew! Got that taken care of :)

Not too much energy today. i had to be careful with the elbow from my overachieving bicep track last time. Gluts still hurt from last time. And I didn't want to get totally wiped out in case I can go skiing tomorrow. can't wait.
