So that's a Bad Religion song name, for you non BR fans. Anyways, I haven't been online much, one of the things that's going well this new year is my lack of time on the computer. Went snowboarding a couple nights ago - cold as hell. Before that I went for a trek to my Aunt & Uncle's place, it's 6.4km to their road, then 1.8km down her road (which I had to snowshoe through because the shoulders of the road weren't wide enough to walk on without getting struck by a vehicle.) It was a good visit. More recently I went for another hike that started 2.5km away from my house, a good warmup walk - to Covered Bridge Trail... which I kinda misplaced, and ended up near my old elementary school, then saw the trail through the bank, so made my way down a bank full of trees, sticks, and other things... if anyone was watching me, they probably thought I was in the witness protection program, and was eluding a mob party with the indirect route I was taking... it turns out I was following some random tracks, not a trail... then the voyage down the steep hill made things more interesting... I found the trail finally, went through it, then instead of finding a continuation of the trail as marked by the map I checked online, I ended up in Meadow Heights subdivision.. kinda pissed as I was off course, but it's not like I randomly made my own trail... I followed the trail exactly as it was laid out in front of me. So I decided to walk across Meadow Heights on the road in my snowshoes, and good thing it was -17 out or else people would have thought I'm the village idiot. I found a snowmobile trail that covered the course of the gas pipeline that runs through bracebridge, so I made my way down it, travelling parallel to the trail I used to get to meadow heights. So the round trip was around 5km on the trail, then 2.5k each way to/from said trail to my house... so 10km wasn't bad.. Today I went for a walk to my trainers house.. a 63 minute walk that included led to a 2.5 hour workout, then a 53 minute walk/jog back to my house. I'm tired, hell I'm ready to collapse.. but it was a great workout. The 10km trek (about 5k each way I'm guessing), was a good enougy adventure anyways, but the workout on top was killer. Beat my pushup record a few days ago, so I'm happy about that..
Christmas was kinda fucked, as was most of December, but I made the best of it, and am determined to get back on track with working out full throttle. Martial arts class tomorrow night, I'm pumped about that - after todays adventure I hope my muscles recover in a timely manner... I felt drained when I got home, so had some roast beef and gravy.. then made a plate of pasta... and actually now that I think about it, could go for some ice cream.. we have some Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough in the freezer I think that I might liberate and consume... Anyways, that's all for now.. Fitness wise things are going great so far in 2010, lets just say I'm glad 2009 is gone and done.
