Men With Brooms

By MJ

I’ve been so proud of our US Olympians, I know there has been perhaps one unbecoming event, but in the face of criticism, success, and defeat, I feel our team has represented us well – especially Evan Lysacek, Apolo Ohno, Lindsey Jacobellis, Shaun White,  Lindsey Vonn, and Shani Davis.

I’ve also been watching a lot of curling that I decided to watch the movie that got me interested in it in the first place.

From IMDB:
Men With Brooms
Paul Gross stars as the leader of a recently reunited curling team from a small Canadian town. This offbeat comedy follows the team as they work through their respective life issues and struggle to win the championship for the sake of their late coach.

(Rated R for language, sexuality and some drug use.)

While I was watching Men with Brooms, I also tried out the new recumbent bike. 30 minutes. 7.3 miles. I like it. It felt great to be exercising again. I even wore my 5Fingers which I haven’t worn since before Hawaii. The official training for the 3 Day starts tomorrow (with a rest day).

In other news:

I created a page in facebook and already have 19 fans!

I am also in the process of organizing a golf outing. I will be working out some of the details with the golf course tomorrow (I hope). I’m aiming for early June. If you have any ideas or suggestions about the golf outing or other fundraising ideas, please let me know!

Thank you to Irene (Magazine Smiles). She awarded me the Sunshine Award.

The rules for accepting this:

Put the logo on your blog or within your post (right click and save). Pass the award onto 12 bloggers, then link the nominees within your post. Finally, let the nominees know they have received this award by commenting on their blog.

Unfortunately I do not yet know 12 bloggers. So I will try my best to award some sunshine to the ones I do know.

Diary of An Aspiring Loser – She and I have been teammates on our weight loss journeys.

Evolution B – This is my college bud, Ben  (that I went to Hawaii with). He is responsible for getting me into CrossFit and helping to keep me on track and focused. =)

SPC Crossfit – This is the CrossFit that I belonged to. They have taught me to believe in myself – that I CAN do all this craziness. I can train like an athlete and be successful. I will always consider myself a part of the Barn crew, but due to distance and time issues, I cannot attend there regularly enough. (It’s an hour from my house).

As learn of more blogs (or find friend’s blogs), I will award my other 8 Sunshine awards.
