Today was going to be a busy day. And if you look at when this blog was published you might notice that I'm up past my bedtime (10... I don't care if the sun hasn't set). It was an up at 7, drive to practice at 7:30, uphill bounding intervals, drive to work (work has a shower-- don't worry), work from 10:30-4, drive to practice again, home at 7, dinner, dance 9-10. As I packed a bag for the day I thought, "wow, this is just like being back at college-- training half the time, going to class, eating on the run, spending any spare half hour studying, NEVER being at home..." I also realized that I wasn't actually that interested in being back in college. College was sweet but having a more laid back lifestyle is sweeter. So I left work around 2 and went home and slept for an hour before practice. Naps are an important part of training and training's my top priority. Living in a city and having lots of things to do means I have to remember to prioritize my time again.

DANCE... I found a dance studio near my house and I took my first dance class tonight. It's a hiphop studio and, um, I've never done hiphop before so it was quite challenging but fun. And very much a different demographic than the ski community. There's only one class a week for me but that's probably good because otherwise I might start skipping afternoon strength workouts to go to dance class. And that probably wouldn't make me a better skier.
