Sno'barding

This is possibly the best day of snowboarding Brittany and I have ever had together. We were at Brighton on a cold as balls, but sunny powder day. Brittany could barely keep up speed it was so deep. Topped off by lunch with a PBR. Good day on the slopes.


Wednesday:
500 ways to eat pie
100 Sit ups
100 Wall Balls (20)
100 Burpees
100 KB swings (52)
100 situps

23:40 (ouch)

A Slight Change

There's going to be a slight change in this blog.
I'm going to start blogging about more just photography. More specifically I'm going to start blogging my workouts. You might all think this is retarded, to that I say suck it. I don't shoot enough anymore, but I will start again soon. Come on residency. T-minus 7 months WaHOO!

This week has been exciting. I worked my last day at the VA ED this Monday. It's a sad parting, but I think I'll live. I'm on vacation now. Kicking it stay-ca style.

I went split-boarding on Sunday up at ALTA ("It's for Skiers"). Conditions were stupid, but turns were nice. And I went and picked up my Snowboard pass yesterday- bonus 4 runs on the groomers in the AM. It totally reminded me about snowboarding back east. I kinda miss the speed. But then the fluffy falls and I am reminded why I moved out here.

On to the workouts:
I started going to Crossfit here in SLC. It's been fun. I like a little change here and there- and CF offers a significant change.

NZ Pics


This is a tripod pic Britt and I took at Lake Matheson. Probably one of the most photographed areas of NZ. The lake is often calm and gives a perfect mirror effect with the mountain range behind - which includes Mt Cook, the tallest mountain in Australasia. As you can see, it was a little windy and cloudy for us. But we made the best of it.

New Post with the Most




I'm just not good at this.
Posting takes time and since I started off posting pictures, I feel like I have to keep posting pictures. Pictures take time. This has been a deep moment for me.
