In case it was not obvious, now is the time of year when I have the least amount of free time. I basically wake up in the morning and then it’s go, go, go, until I fall into my bed at night. I’m barely finding time to get in all my workouts, so writing about them on a blog is challenging. (more…)

Today I made my running debut. It was pretty good, for me anyway. Especially if you consider that I’ve never been much of a runner. I would do some running for lacrosse in college, but that was a joke compared to my ski training now. I’ve come to embrace running since I’ve become a skier, but that hasn’t helped out too much. The most I’ve run seriously is 3 or 4 times a week, but even that was rare. (more…)

When I was younger I used to say my favorite season was spring. I now realize that what I actually meant was, “the end of spring when it starts to feel like summer.” Of course, I was just as sad as the next cross country skier to see the snow melting. But, once it did, and winter was obviously over, I became very impatient to skip this whole spring thing and move right on to summer. The beginning of spring might actually be my least favorite time of year. I hate cold rain. (more…)

Obviously I have not been attending to my blog. I simply have had no time. But I have been up to a lot of really sweet things. (more…)

Okay, so I’m totally sweating today. But as the snow is melting, it seems like a good time to reflect on the past year. (more…)

Disaster has recently struck my life. A series of events have recently turned sour. The only conclusion I can reach is that this will be the low point in my training year. I can only look forward to (some) things getting better. Here is a list of all the silly things that have happened to me (including the silver lining) … (more…)

Okay, so I didn’t really race the Birkie this weekend. I did race the Korte, but I figured people would be more likely to read this if they thought I was writing about the Birkie. After all, Bjorn Daehlie did ski the Birkie. I had a few moments last week where I seriously considered skipping the Korte and getting myself to Main Street so I could witness the Birkie finish.

Yesterday was a big day for me. I was pretty thrilled to be able to spectate the Capitol Square Sprints in good ol’ Madison, Wisconsin. I am a poor skier (as in money, not ability) so I don’t have a camera. Feel free to hop on over to David Chamberlain’s blog and check out his photos. I think you can see me against the fence…It was pretty neat to be able to watch him, among many other great skiers, up so close. I read about all them and study their technique so much, it was more than exciting to see it live. (more…)

I realize that my last post had very little to do with skiing. Though, for me it does because my job and volunteering greatly affect my skiing. I did decide that my loyal readers would perhaps appreciate an update on how skiing is actually going for me. (more…)
