To Ski or To Board?

So, from my last post you see that I'm taking a trip to New Mexico at the end of March. I think everyone going will be snowboarding...something I've never ever done. The last time I even went skiing was in 1996...and I wasn't good. Should have taken a lesson as I can only stop using the snow plow method. That doesn't really work too well on every run!

So my question is: should I take a snowboard lesson or ski lessons? Just how hard is snowboarding anyways? I'm picturing myself face-planting over and over! But also think it could be fun.

Thoughts?

Weights night

My home internet was sketchy last night and I'm not sure what's up with it. But last night I met Carol (my step-mom) at the gym to do weights. Haven't done any in about a month. We didn't do just one area, we did anything and everything...kind of like the Body Pump class I used to go to. We'll see how sore I am tomorrow.

After dinner with my Mom and brother at Trudy's, I did a bunch of lunges and squats at home. I think my upcoming trip to New Mexico to ski/snowboard has me wanting to get my legs ready!

Training

Ok, so I've been in a half marathon training group since the beginning of January. It's my very first Rogue group and I am really enjoying it! (Even though I'm always last.) Good people. I just joined a group that was a wee bit out of my league. I've already improved my time, but still have a long way to go. My eyes are on a 10-miler on May 1 and then the San Antonio Rock-n-Roll Half this Fall. I'm using this group to get a good routine going and I better keep it up once my group is finished!

Brownie wants me to put all my training runs on here, but I doubt that will happen. Nobody wants to see how damn slow I am!

Peace out.
