Right. Three postings in one week. I guess I'm back, sort of.
This past fall was a bust in that I was dealing with family illness and studying. Not that I'm entitled to anything, but I will be thoroughly pissed since I actually took this test seriously and studied. And I missed out on
too many all the TMBG shows as well as fall marathoning. On the up side, I did more mountain biking and road biking since those stints didn't exhaust me as much as long training runs on the weekends would have. My technical skills had improved, but now that we've had such a wet winter, the trails are verboten unless the weather gets cold enough to freeze the ground again.
However, it's less than a week to Beaver Creek and Vail. Not that they've had good snow so far. But, it'll be better than anything in the east. So jealous of
carvinkeeper12 that she lives so close to good skiing that she can start her season IN DECEMBER!!! My legs will not be in any shape for freeheeling. *sigh* Yes, life is tough.
Speaking of skiing, why is biathlon not part of the winter sports that Universal Sports televises? Instead of repeating the World Cup Alpine and Nordic events, I'd like to see some of the biathlon events. Especially since an American male has finally taken the lead in some decades. For those of you not familiar with biathlon,
this is NOT what biathlon is, although it would make the Olympics far more interesting.
So, everyone around me is on Facebook and some are on Twitter as well. I've contemplated registering for them, but don't want to give my real name out. Not happy about being trackable on the web. While listening to CBS radio, I heard that even using the Kindle allows Amazon to track what you've been reading and where you are at a given time. But, I want the capability of stalking others...However, seeing as how much time I would spend on the computer if I did join these groups, I think I might pass.
The annual WKCR Bach Festival is over, but when streamed today, they were playing some awesome music during their regular after classical session that you would never hear on WQXR even when owned by the NY Times. Very cool Cantigas de Santa Maria.
