I was going to wait until I moved before I truly switched gyms but once I head some other paddlers talking about this gym and reading their website I got hooked. Its gonna suck driving back into town just to go to the gym BUT I’ll make it work. Plus with my old gym nothing was working for me anymore I mean the people were just bleh and the workouts were the same every time, so I wasn’t gaining muscle or lost fat UGH!.

Since my last nasty break up, I’ve cut down on my cell usage a lot and I’m really happy about the money, I’ve saved by doing so. You could say I went back to using the cell for emergency’s uses only since I barely call out on it and barely getting called on, and once and a while I’ll text. I use my computer to do the rest of the stuff [read/write emails, update my status via twitter , facebook, myspace and chat] why fork out more money, when you can do stuff on the computer for cheaper? So I guess exes are good for something… lol…

But the sad part is the money, that I’ve been saving is going straight into my budget for paying for gas . Heck, I would take the public transit but until they build a better transit system that will get me to point A to B in less then 2 hours, I’d be happier. Until then my gas budget keeps on getting bigger and bigger. Which stinks as I’ll be stuck driving all over this summer since I recently got more freelance coaching gigs [YAY more income] and working at my real job [thankfully I don’t have to drive for that] but Oi!

I’ve kind of gotten use to having sea legs, as I mentioned above its 12 schools a week spread out though the week but for Wednesday there are 2 schools in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, then I gotta head over to where I normally coach out of (30 minutes away on the highway) coach then head to my practice. I leave the house at 8AM and don’t get home until close to 10PM.

Been offered to coach at that paddling center this summer BUT I don’t kayak so I turned it down though depending on what I’m doing next spring I might be one of the coaches again for this program again. From all this coaching/being on the water with my team, I’ve gotten a lot darker then my normal May tan. I don’t think I’ve been this tan since I was 10 years old :sunburnt2:

Paddling~Geek.Net has been around for 5 years next month. I’m thinking of ways to celebrate it, not 100% sure yet but I’m thinking maybe having a contest of some sort. More details mid June

Mentioned to me that I should come out to one of their practices this week. I’m honoured big time don’t get me wrong, I’m just not sure if I’m that “fit” to be on their team for this season but I wouldn’t mind the extra practices and to be coached by one of my idols would be sweet. Now to figure out how to not burn myself out and or to clone myself I’d be set. Next season for sure I’ll try out and what not to be on the team but this season my goal has been trying to get back into paddling shape and to lose the rest of the baby fat. I might as well give their team a try, it doesn’t hurt. I’m thinking not this week but next week to paddle with them

Off topic but .. I won a few things at the auction I went to this morning [err Saturday morning] they are 4 sessions with a personal trainer $20 for a session [Hello! can't get any cheaper then that ] and 2 buckets with sand toys for $30. My lil ones birthday shopping is now done. LOL and she’s not even 9 months yet..

Though I have been asked to help out with a high school team this year starting today (Wednesday) before my own practice woot! And in May I’ll be helping out as one of the main coaches for a school event.. every school who signs up gets 4 weeks to learn how to paddle and on the 5th week everyone races.. I wish they had this event when I was younger.

It’s 4am and I should head to bed.. I don’t know why but on the days I don’t have to work I always go back into night owl mode. I’ll work on this site some more when I get up.. Until then nighterz

Last few days I’ve been posting over at wordpress.com BUT it’s so nice to be back with my domain . It’s almost midnight and I have two projects due tomorrow. I should be working on them but as you see I’ve been playing around on my site for the last while (opps). After this post I’m gonna refill up my ice tea and play some 60′s classics as I work away on my two projects, and I don’t care if its gonna take me all night.
