Action from 2 weeks

Last last wednesday (March 18th) Maya was teaching me how to snowboard for the first time at Bräntberget.  Her mom dropped us off at 7pm and picked us up at 9pm so that was 2 hours of learning.

Pictures/Proof:

It was a lot of fun in the end, learning.  It was a bit of a rocky start because I've never really done winter sports.  Snowboarding, skiing, ice skating, all of it is really new to me but a huge part of life in Sweden.

In addition to that, I spent the last week up in Hemavan at the ski resort, working on skiing.  I'm not exactly sure how many hours i was skiing but it was about 3-4 hours every day, 5 days.  So I guess I can say about 18 hours.

Picture/Proof:

I'm really racking up the action hours now because in addition to that, I've joined the Nike Men vs. Women Challenge and will be purchasing the Nike Sport Kit this week so I can start running.  The entire Nike+ website is really cool and motivating to begin running.  I used to run a bit every now and then and I've come to really miss it with the snow.  Before I could go out any evening year round because it was warm enough, but now its snowing again and freezing cold.  But I just have to suck it up and start running again.  I can't let my fellow women down :P

Skiing is Action

Pictures will be up tomorrow probably, I'm too tired to import and upload now.  But I've been skiing today from roughly 12.30 to 15.00.  thats a good 2.5 hours that will be added to my action hours :)

i enjoyed the skiing.  this is only the 2nd time i've gone skiing in sweden, and only the 3rd time i've been at all.  so i'm still a newbie.  its kind of embarrassing when kids a third of my age go shooting past me and do jumps and everything and i'm just struggling to turn a bit...but i'll get there...eventually.
