So it's a rainy Sunday morning...I used to like days like today due to the fact that I would've most likely gone out on a Saturday night and ran a good one til the we hours, then sleep until about noon...take a shower come back to couch and maybe order a pizza, but not so much anymore really. I'm gonna have to hope that the local fitness center will be open this aft to get in a good sweat. All the local news people are saying stay home if you can and I will until later. So Friday night was a cardio session, not the best but good, then home and chill out and in bed early.
Sat Morn went sking again in Greenbush. The roads to me seem to shitty to ride the mtb. I looked at my bike yesterday as I was grabbing the ski bag and saw that my new chain is all rusty.
Skiing was a challenge this time. I bought some new poles (with straps, I was strapless) but I think they're too big (my fault) and I'll have to chop them down. I need to wax my ski's really good as they felt slow, unless it was the snow? My platforms squeeke so I'll need to address that but none the less I had a really good time. Oh yeah, I was beat physically half way through and ready for lunch by the time we wrapped up. So we (b & I) do the purple trail and surprizingly enough b's ready for another lap of one of the shorter trails. I say ok even though I knew I would be running a little bit late for what we were going to be doing later, but hey, if someone else is down for another lap, I'll probably go. So we start cruising and I get to the head of the pink trail. I look back and no b. I wait. He comes sking up and I yell the pink trail is here. Hold on he jestures. He gets in ear distance and says that he just talked w/ some other skiers and they said it's pretty hilly. I say oh c'mon. He likes I don't know. Well by this time I knew I was starting to really push my timing so I say you go on and ski, but I gotta start heading back. Tor asked that I try to be home by noon and it had to be 12:15 or so by now. He goes on the red trail and I turn around and make my way to the car.
Saturday late aft we went to the Milwaukee Museum to see BodyWorlds and whatever else they had. We got there about 2:45 or so and walked around. We had 4:15 time slot tickets. It's been a really long time since I've been to the museum. Old Milwaukee streets is probalby still the coolest along w/ the dinasours and native wisconsin stuff. BodyWorlds was interesting but like Tori mentioned in there "you've seen one you've seen them all". I'd recommend it but I'd say try to go during the week or something. Not on a winter saturday afternoon. So after that we headed over to the SafeHouse for some beers and atmosphere. Tori's brothers buddy's girlfriend works there and gave us pretty star like treatment...pretty dam cool....thanks Holly. I had a sausage spicy soup that was cheese based and really good followed by a Tuna steak w/ veggies all washed down w/ some Miller Lites. Ride home was kinda long and had the cruise set at 65. No rush. Wisco State boys were out and working.
So back today....it's still raining and I can't believe how hard. Puddles everywhere. Temps are going to drop and it's going to turn into a skating rink out on the roads. Tori's dad landed in Chicago's O'Hare and has to drive home in this crap. It's turning to snow in a couple of hours so this should be an interesting weather day. Back to internet surfing. later
