The First week of 2009

The first week of 2009 turned out be a great one. I started working in my lab and throughly enjoyed that, and after work I pretty much just rode my bike. I was fortunate enough to be able to sit on the trainer for the Lord of The Rings Trilogy, those movies are great. I also watched Get Smart, which although it looked a little cheesy, was actually pretty funny. Another movie I watched was I Spy, it is not very popular but it had Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson and it is absolutely great, perhaps my favorite comedy, you should check it out. I also purchased Joe Dirt today, so I am looking forward to that (it was $5, worth it in my opinion). I should start up a blog about movie reviews, hmmmm.

I also made my first trip to the gym to lift weights. For a warm up a ran a mile, thats right, a entire mile. I then just did some really light lifting to get my legs back in the swing of things and practice technique on the squats. I ended up being sore for about four days even though I liften relatively lightly, I am sure the sorness time will decrease as I get used to lifting.
On Sunday I was originally going to go downhill skiing with Sean, but I ended up cancelling because I was still sore from lifting (so I made an awesome breakfast).


The day ended up being beautiful so I grabbed the cross country skis and headed out for about an hour. It was a perfect day, and it was fun to explore some of the cross country options. I had some great views, including one with a horse with everything covered in snow, and Mt. Sugarloaf in the background, it was pretty nice (but I didn't bring my camera!)
