Taking Our 5 Year Old Skiing This Weekend

19 February 2010

This weekend we are taking a family trip to the mountains.  It’s supposed to snow quite a bit, so there should be a lot of lovely fresh snow.  Our 5 year old is going to take her first lesson, so we had to go shopping to find some Skis for Kids.  We found a really nice pair, but unfortunately they were out of her size.  So, we went to a different store and were able to find that exact same pair in our daughter’s size.  She is really excited and is looking forward to our trip.  I hope she enjoys the lessons as much as our other children did.

The Most Durable Golf Carts Around

17 February 2010

When you are enjoying a day golfing on your favorite course, there is nothing more frustrating than experiencing a malfunctioning golf cart. Because of that, it is essential to purchase golf carts that are reliable and durable. EZ GO golf carts are considered to be the most durable and reliable golf carts on the market. Purchasing one of these golf carts is an excellent way to have peace of mind on the golf course, freeing you to think about shot making and putting rather than worrying about the performance of your golf cart. They are also very reasonably priced for their level of quality, which is what has made them a favorite of golf course superintendents for their fleets of vehicles over the years.

Purchasing the New Equipment

15 February 2010

As I was standing in the snowboarding shop just staring at everything, it was very obvious that I was a beginner. Someone who works for the store came over and asked if I needed helped. I paused for a moment, and then just told him a little bit about myself. I said that I had just moved from the south and that I really wanted to learn to snowboard, and that I had ended up in his store because I read about it in a snowboarding blog. He knew the blog I was talking about, and said he could help me out. He helped me figure out what I needed to buy.  

Treadmill Trainer Workouts

04 February 2010

Hi, What can I say ‘Treadmill Trainer 3′ is another fantastic workout … Initially I found it very challenging but with your encouragement and my determination I now find it easier! Through following the programme three times a week I have increased my running speed, which for me is a big achievement and a great feeling. Today for the first time I was able to sustain a running speed of 11.5 for 5 minutes, I was amazed at how easy it felt, before starting on TT3 I was running at a pace of 10 to 10.5.   I have also been following ‘Fitter U’ … this is my second week … today I completed ‘Day 5′ followed by a 20 minute run. The programme has changed my outlook to exercise, I am more motivated than I have been for a long time and I now look forward to my workouts. On the ‘cardio days’ and ‘days off’ I either follow the treadmill trainer workouts or the Elliptical Workouts. I haven’t measured myself yet I am waiting until I have completed ‘Phase 1′ I have however, noticed a change in my shape, my clothes do not fell as tight and other people are also noticing which makes me feel good about myself and determined to carry on….. so it is working! Thank you for all your help and encouragement I could not have done it without you.    

Son Joins a Kubb Game Tournament

03 February 2010

A few years ago my son learned a new game while he was in school over in the UK.  He brought the Kubb Game back home with him and plays quite frequently with his friends.  There really wasn’t any tournaments here in the states until last year when a bunch of kids decided to start one.  This year my son joined one and his team came in second place.  They have been practicing hard ever since because they want to take home the first place prize this year.  I am looking forward to the tournament and really do hope that my son’s team can win this year.

Sleek Ridge Runner

30 January 2010

I have happened upon a website recently that has all of my gear that I like to wear in the snow. I am so glad that I have found this website and I wonder how come I have not come across it before or how none of the brands that I like advertise where you can buy their gear. Specifically the westbeach ridge runner jacket. I have been having a hard time finding it locally and now that I have found it online I may very well just order all my stuff on the Internet and cut out the middle man.

Don’t forget your camera!

15 January 2010

You’re on your motor cycle riding holidays in an incredibly beautiful mountain pass, the high peaks have a coating of pure white snow punctured by the most graceful pines you’ve ever seen, and guess what; you forgot you camera. This scenario is not as uncommon as you might think. Before you set off, and I don’t mean in the hour leading up to departure, make a list of all the things you’re likely to need on your trip. I know you want to travel light, but you can always cross things off the list, but you can’t magic them out of thin air once you’ve started.

Letting my Husband Pick out my Galvin Green Golf Clothing

09 January 2010

Just the other day I was telling my husband how I needed to get some new golf shirts for myself.  He told me that he also needed a couple and would pick some up for me when he went out.  Not wanting to hurt his feelings I agreed to let him pick out my golf clothes, however, I was really nervous as he has never picked this kind of thing out for me.  Luckily, I had nothing to worry about as he came home from the sporting goods store with several bags filled with Galvin Green golf clothing for me and I love every single piece of clothing that he picked out for me.

I Love My Jordan 13 Shoes!

06 January 2010

I have been asking for the same exact thing for my last few birthdays, but somehow my family and friends were always getting these wacky ideas and buying me something else instead.  Finally this year I told myself that I had waited long enough to get what I really wanted, and I went ahead and ordered the Jordan 13 shoes for myself.  I am so glad that I went ahead and did this, because I am now wearing them absolutely everywhere, and I would even wear them to work if I could get away with dressing casual every day.  I love this style.

Why A Specific Triathlon Store

28 December 2009

A lot of athletes will go into a sporting goods store to buy whatever equipment or apparel that they need. This is usually not the case with triathletes. They are a rare breed that doesn’t want just a pair of cycling shoes but a pair of triathlon specific cycling shoes. They will pay top dollar for equipment that is similiar to other equipment but specific to their sport. This is why a Triathlon store specifically is necessary. It will contain bikes that are fitted to specifications of a triathlete only and apparel that meets all the needs of a triathlete in training or on race day.
