Sports fanatics

Been a little lazy on the blogging lately - we've been all kinds of busy! Lots of sports action going on the past month. For a couple of weeks, our schedule looked like this:
  • Sunday - coed volleyball (L)
  • Monday - women's volleyball (L)
  • Tuesday - broomball (M+L)
  • Wednesday - ice hockey (M)
  • Thursday - kickball (M+L)
  • Friday - exhausted (M+L)
  • Saturday - chores (? haha)
  • Sunday - football (M+L)
  • Anytime - watch the Mets/NHL/etc.

Broomball champs (3-peat!)



Mark's hockey team (the Blue Liners) made it to the championship game! Unfortunately, they came in #2



In addition, we've been training for The Savage in Delaware on April 19th. It's an adventure race sprint (usually they are 24+ hours).

20 MILES/6 HOURS
5 miles of running, trekking, & orienteering
10 miles of mountain biking
5 miles of flat water canoe paddling
Plus fun team challenges

Mark and his friend Caleb did it last year, and apparently they have decided to challenge themselves even more this year by adding some dead weight to their team, hehe. Mind you, I've never even run a 5k race. But I'm up to 3.5 miles now, which is more than 5k (I can just hear my marathon-running friends laugh). Mark mapped out a training route for me, and I'm trying to go a little farther each day...

  1. The Savage sounds awesome! You'll do great on the 5miles - check out "google map pedometer" came in really handy when I had to find routes at certain mileages :) Looking forward to hearing how the day goes!
