Base Miles....Skiing!

I have the Holiday Blues right now where all I want to do is relax, eat, and not do much at all. I go through this every year about this time when Base starts. I get burned on the fact that I have to log all those long slow hours in the snow and cold. I get bored with base so quickly every year. I am already thinking about only doing one month of solid base before I start hitting it hard. It is to early.

We have been getting so much snow lately in Durango that is has been hard to ride. I have been doing allot of Nordic Skiing and even thought about going back to racing. I haven't done a skate ski race in about 8 years. There are a ton of really good skiers and I would get crushed, but it would be fun to give it a go.

I went up to see my family in Idaho for Christmas. I think the sun was out for one day out of the six days that I was home. They don't plow the roads in Idaho so you are on your own when it comes to driving around town or getting out for a ride on the raods. I forget how backwoods it is in Idaho. Crazy up there in polygamy country.

I am ready to get back in the groove of school and try to get' er done this next semester. I have some photos to post, but hte camera is not functioning properly. It is a Canon so imagine that. I am trying to get a mountain bike together so that I can do some training on the dirt this witner and spring as well and am thinking about doing the first NORBA National if it doesn't conflict with any big road races that Jittery Joe's might want me to do. Anyway, lame updates, I am kind of over the site. I will get some pics up soon and some more entertainment.
