The Holidays

It's been awhile since I last blogged. This holiday season has been crazy. I thought that after the semester ended that life would slow down a little. To say the least, it did not.

Since last my last blog a lot of stuff has happened. I quit my swim coaching job at the YMCA and my Baskin Robbins job. As of this time I am done coaching however, tomorrow will be my last day with BR. To keep some sort of income I will be partnering up with mike to work construction. This will be nice because then we will both be on the same schedule for when we want to take weekends off and go biking. My school schedule will allow for me to take 4 day weekends as well. I only have class on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at ASU.

In addition to quitting my jobs, I also got my bike!!! I have been on a few rides since then and I am very happy with the bike setup I have chosen (thank you to Landis). Anytime now the BOB trailers should be coming in as well. I'm excited to see how those pull.

Christmas was rather small at the Schifferer house this year. Sat around the fire place and opened up a few presents this year. Was good to slow down and relax for a day.

As far as New Years goes this year. When I'm not working at BR, I will be packing and it sounds like my brother, dad and I are going to be leaving at 3 AM to start the long drive through the snow to Colorado. Zach is going to be speaking at a conference before school starts so we are going to drive up with him and play a little before we both have to go back to school. We left this trip pretty open ended so we're not sure when we will get back but, it will probably be between 1 and 2 weeks long. We'll see how much fun we are having and how the bank account holds up.

As far as training went... still doing yoga, I've been going on a few bike rides a week both road and mountain bike rides and every Sunday morning before church I go for a hike usually with Mike, my dad and Mychala. This trip to Colorado though should really challenge me as we plan on snow shoeing, skiing and possibly some back country skiing as well. Should be fun.

Haven't decided if I'm going to take my computer with yet but, even if I don't I will try and find a way to continue blogging while I'm there.

Thanks for following!
