Thu 1/28: Biked 25min again.
Fri 1/29: Omg last minute ski trip! Taking off to prepare for the weekend woohoo!

3 day week so nice
Mon 1/18: Drove back from Mammoth... was on the road from 10:30am-10:30pm qq. Mostly because we sat down for lunch and dinner, and we made detours to Fremont, boba, and Burlingame.
Tue 1/19: Off. Started standing at my desk! Will make this regular practice, maybe like 2 hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Hopefully this will strengthen my feet.
Wed 1/20: Swam 25 laps. I think I'm getting better at swimming, or maybe it's just been long enough since I last swam that I got a lot of rest. Went much faster than before, and it felt surprisingly easy. I think I can start upping that distance.
Thu 1/21: Biked 10min.
Fri 1/22: Did like 5min of core at night, does that count? Shouldn't have stayed at work until midnight...
Sat 1/23: Swam 30 laps! Felt pretty good except my back started feeling tired during it. Finally watched Big Hero 6!
Sun 1/24: Karaoke! and off, was kind of sleepy all afternoon/evening so didn't work out when I probably should have...

Mammoth!
Mon-Fri: Lazy. Recovering from the previous week and sickness. Also packing and lots of research for Japan/Mammoth trips.
Sat 1/16: Skiing! Went slow the first few hours to help out a new snowboarder, then went on some harder stuff. Visibility was really bad higher up in the morning, but it cleared up a bit in the afternoon so we went on chair 23 a bunch after it opened up, which had quite a bit of powder since it had just been snowing :). Spent pretty much the whole day around the middle of the mountain.
Sun 1/17: Spent the first few hours on cloud 9, that side was pretty windswept but there was a part the wind swept the snow to which felt really cool since it was like a layer of snow that was kind of like floating above the ground which made it feel a bit powdery. Then went on the gondola a few times, which still had some powder in the bowls. Then went to the backside, where I found nice fresh powder in the trees. Andy and I got stuck though since the lifts closed and we got towed by snowmobiles! Went on the middle/large sized jumps a few times and just barely didn't have enough speed because it was too windy. Also didn't push myself speed/turning wise because my lower left shin was hurting a bit.
Overall, these two days of skiing felt really relaxed, especially compared to last week. Still decent exercise though, and got some powder in!

Colorado skiing!
Mon 1/4: Flew in to Denver, off.
Tue 1/5: Day one in Keystone, went pretty hard, pretty much trees and moguls the whole day in the backside. Hip flexor hurt a bit from a fall in the trees.
Wed 1/6: Day two in Breck, big mountain so mostly exploring. Didn't go super hard, but spent a decent amount of time at peaks 9 and 10. Going through the windows was super fun. Back, glutes, and left groin pretty sore, but hip flexor a lot better.
Thu 1/7: Day three in Vail, woke up really really dizzy (altitude sickness? too much hot tub/dehydration?) so only skied a half day. Spent the whole time on the backside; it was actually snowing so we managed to hit some fresh powder, especially at Mongolia.
Fri 1/8: Day four in A-basin, woke up pretty dizzy again but managed to make out to the mountain at a decent hour. Head was hurting though for a lot of it :(
Sat 1/9: Back to norcal!
