BACK 2 SCHOOL
After a long an unproductive winter break I just got back to River Falls and snow is everywhere.......and unfortunately that means NO CYCLING!
I skied to high point from OO yesterday. Its disconcerting to know that that will probably be my last time on skis before the Birkebeiner. I luckily made the third wave again and will be skating this year instead of striding... mainly because of lack of prep time and interest in skiing in general.
My spring semester classes start tomorrow.... spring semester.... I like the way that sounds. Spring means melting snow.... birds.... sunny days.... my birthday.... CYCLING!!!! This will be anything but a leisurely semester though. I believe I have either 17 or 18 credits worth of classes. At the end of the semester I have to pass my Upper Divisional playing exam as well.... which is a stressful enough thought in itself. All this considered I plan on riding my bike this year more than ever.... we'll see how I follow through with that.
Outside of all this life is grand. I got a chance to check out UWRF's new $20 million student center today. It is one impressive facility... but the food court there isn't quite as convenient for gathering mass quantities of carb rich Vegeterian cuisine.... which means i'll potentially lose some of this god awful winter weight. At any rate now I'm just rambling.... GET OUT THERE AND..... SKI, RUN, RIDE..... JUST GET OUT THERE..... If all else fails make snowangels in lieu of doing any actual physical excercise!
