Back on the ice

Well last night I skated two games in Waterloo. It has been a month since I have been on the ice at all, and I have only done 3 games in the last 3 months, so needless to say, headed off to u19's is coming with some concerns. Karen and I made the drive out to do our games, fairly uneventful, but I was certainly feeling not being in mid-season form. The feet were hurting part way through the first game, and my cardio just isn't where I would like it to be. But alas there isn't much I can do about that now. My feet actually started to feel better partway through the 2nd game, I am not sure if that is because they hurt so much I couldn't feel them anymore, or whether they actually got used to the skates jk, but it is still the cardio side that I need to do something about. As it was a long drive home (thanks to various construction along the 401 in the summer) I had a fair bit of time to think, Karen and I covered most of our talking points in the 1 1/2 drive there, so there wasn't much left to chat about. Not to mention it was 11:15 at night when we left Waterloo so we were both tired. I came to the decision that I was going to try and join a gym for a short period, just to have a place I can get on a bike and ride. Unfortunately finding a place that offers a one month membership just isn't all that easy to do. I will keep trying, but may have to stick to the old fashion training.

11 days until I leave, still have a lot to get in order, have to get a couple power adaptors, get to the bank, figure out if I want to use my blackberry over there, and figure out what I am going to be bringing with me. I am sure the time is going to fly by, so I should probably get started on this soon.
