Im supposed to meet up with the team to ride up Big Cottonwood for an hour. This is my first time climbing it in about 2 years and i'm super sore from dryland and weights yesterday. Can't find the team. Decide to climb it by myself. Feeling intimidated but also like a badass, I start the climb. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">2 min in- I wonder why I woke up, why I decided to do this myself and why I didn't turn around already. </span><br />

Most of them were international students so they were only here for a short time but they are good friends of mine now. Ami went back to Japan last week, my German buddies have left, and on saturday Audrey who the coolest (and only) actual French person i've even known is leaving too :( I'll miss all the wednesdays we all spent at O'shucks. Hopefully our plan to eventually all met up again in Japan will work out. My pen pal Niamh in Ireland is moving to Japan to teach english so I now have a nice group of people to visit with there!
Luckily not everyone left, a few of them are staying at least until graduation. :)<br />
<br />
Good Times!<br />

It was a class because I got 2 credits for going haha. It was super fun, I love camping in southern Utah, every time I go I get a better appreciation for the desert environment. There's nothing quite like sipping on sandy coffee while watching the sun rise over the canyons :) Thank my grandma for emailing me twice to remind me to make this post since I keep forgetting lol! Here are the pics. Also, the person who took these had a really nice camera and the glowing speedskater is a light exposure trick where we set the camera to take a picture for 30 seconds and someone traced me with their headlamp, turned out really cool!<br /><br /><div><object width="640" height="480"><param name="movie" value="http://pf.kizoa.com/sflite.swf?did=2522572&k=S66931654&hk=1&ns=1&ob=1&origin=share"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://pf.kizoa.com/sflite.swf?did=2522572&k=S66931654&hk=1&ns=1&ob=1&origin=share" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="640" height="480" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object><br /><b><a href="http://www.kizoa.com/slideshow/d2522572k3777084o1/san-rafael-reef">Kizoa slideshow: San Rafael Reef</a></b> - <i><a href="http://www.kizoa.com">Slideshow</a></i></div><br /><br />I went out with some friends to this bar downtown that has an awesome sushi and beer special every wednesday.

This was my first official meet as a long tracker and first official meet since my fall about a year and a half ago. Won't be able to walk without a limp they said. Won't be able to skate again they said. Well I came pretty friggin close to my personal bests in all my races this weekend. Im glad I was able to prove to myself Im still getting better and faster because for a while I didn't think it would happen. I still can't feel my foot or move my toes but it doesn't matter, I can still go as fast as I used to! <br />Thank you to everyone for all the kind words and for supporting me through my recovery, i'm very happy about this and I will do work this summer and come back next season as a force! <br /><br />Heres how close I was to my old PB's: <br /><br /> PB's.........................................................Am Cup Final races:<br /> <br />PB 500m = 43.77(in 2008) ...................... 1st 500m =44.72 2nd 500m = 44.07 <br /><br />PB 1000m = 1:26.35 (in 2009) ............... 1st 1000=1:29.94 2nd 1000m = 1:28.27<br /><br /><br />Some pics Jerry Search took from this weekend: <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xVCDYfK7Ljw/T1PlevT5HxI/AAAAAAAACXA/uVw8VK4JhHk/s1600/425875_10150583098641481_540721480_9551141_1551593301_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 317px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xVCDYfK7Ljw/T1PlevT5HxI/AAAAAAAACXA/uVw8VK4JhHk/s400/425875_10150583098641481_540721480_9551141_1551593301_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716164668322029330" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EhvHEwa7mSM/T1PleeEZpMI/AAAAAAAACW4/p60kYO8HwsU/s1600/420297_10150572460366481_540721480_9515065_6382607_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 316px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EhvHEwa7mSM/T1PleeEZpMI/AAAAAAAACW4/p60kYO8HwsU/s400/420297_10150572460366481_540721480_9515065_6382607_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716164663693649090" /></a>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081578639342719871noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178537567854577939.post-59211430505244466142012-01-02T15:11:00.004-05:002012-01-02T15:22:05.325-05:00New YearsSpent New Years in Rochester with my best friends at Tilt, super fun!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-trL2g7BvTmA/TwIRlK3hBgI/AAAAAAAACWc/E1qGN2MzgHU/s1600/385384_10151108128085463_528600462_22546831_1648805477_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-trL2g7BvTmA/TwIRlK3hBgI/AAAAAAAACWc/E1qGN2MzgHU/s400/385384_10151108128085463_528600462_22546831_1648805477_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693132209219765762" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N7sWzuzz4Cc/TwIRlOFX6nI/AAAAAAAACWQ/TvDeAI6mKIk/s1600/378997_10151108840760463_528600462_22553064_553570893_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N7sWzuzz4Cc/TwIRlOFX6nI/AAAAAAAACWQ/TvDeAI6mKIk/s400/378997_10151108840760463_528600462_22553064_553570893_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693132210083195506" /></a>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081578639342719871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178537567854577939.post-62713000749259487932011-12-28T12:59:00.005-05:002011-12-28T13:39:51.074-05:00Im back on the internet!My hard drive died right after thanksgiving so I wasnt able to post about it.

Id like to say i've been too busy to post but in reality i've just been lazy. So whats been happening with me you ask?<br /> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/--R5mDC5Ke4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />I RACED for the first time in over a year thats what! After 2 (well, 3) false starts I managed to stumble 500 meters in 49.2 seconds! Thanks to Donald Nelson for this vid.<br />It felt great to race again, I plan on doing these time trials at the oval every other week so I can stay motivated through my "trial season". I originally hadn't planned on racing till next year so as not to embarrass myself, but racing is the only reason I skate! <br /><br />School wise, IM DONE WITH MY GED EDS AFTER 3 YEARS!!! I can finally move on to fun environmental studies classes. I feel like im super close to my degree even though in reality I probably still have 3 years. <br /><br />What do I do for fun now?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J7FSDNyiC38/Trdh90zZUuI/AAAAAAAACTQ/5X0emPyY7V0/s1600/377995_10150359004971481_540721480_8805600_381064198_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 333px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J7FSDNyiC38/Trdh90zZUuI/AAAAAAAACTQ/5X0emPyY7V0/s400/377995_10150359004971481_540721480_8805600_381064198_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672109970470556386" /></a><br /><br />I hang from weather balloons thats what!! Just kidding...Jerry Search put this together. Looks like fun though...<br /><br />But really, I went camping a couple times last month which lead to some interesting experiences. The first time I went to Grand Titon National Park in Wyoming with Garrett. The first night we camped at Bear Lake in northern Utah, sky was clear and it was beautiful so we slept under the stars. Next day we drove to the park and it was super nice there, big trees, big mountains, good beer. <br />We were chatting with a park ranger and asked how the bear activity was. She told us theres been a lot, especially in the Shadow Mountain area where we were going to camp that night. We didnt think anything of it and later that day were on our way to the site when all the sudden we look at each other and both say "I have a bad feeling about this..". We got the same uneasy feeling at the same time about camping there because of the bears. Since we both felt liek something might happen that night we decided to drive out of wyoming back into Utah to Logan Canyon. <br />However, on the way out of Grand Titon, I said to Garrett, its like final destination, we were supposed to die tonight...not I bet a moose will walk in front of us and kill us. about 10 seconds after I said that a GIANT MOOSE with HUGE antlers walks out in front of us. I slam on the breaks and this thing is literally 3 feet in front of us and its PISSED. It starts to charge the car when it gets distracted by another car that came from the other direction. It seemed undecided on which car it disliked the most and then got fed up and went back into the forest. <br />Death averted...again. Or so I THOUGHT.<br />We were more than a little creeped out by the timing of the incidents and the incidents themselves, and yet the night was not over. About 5 minutes later these 2 cars come out from behind me riding my bumper and swerving. I think oh wow theyre drunk and I pull over to let them pass and they follow me to the side of the road. I get nervous and get back on the road, as do they. They continue to follow like before. Garrett suggests we lead them to a police station but the nearest one wasnt for at least an hour and we had no reception either. By some miracle about 20 minutes later when I pull over for the third time they pass me. We soon find a camp spot, relax and realise how lucky we were to still be alive! Now THATS a camping trip. <br /><br />What blog post would be complete without one of my cakes? <br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eknnO5v8k2o/Trdm2PEuMhI/AAAAAAAACTc/2gOqKDft-Q8/s1600/389373_2251509171914_1373791550_32176598_866365008_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eknnO5v8k2o/Trdm2PEuMhI/AAAAAAAACTc/2gOqKDft-Q8/s400/389373_2251509171914_1373791550_32176598_866365008_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5672115337641734674" /></a><br /><br />Red velvet for Jamahl's 20th.Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081578639342719871noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178537567854577939.post-44928551013007178922011-07-15T14:55:00.004-05:002011-07-15T15:06:53.169-05:00More cake, and skating too.I just realized I never posted a pic of the 4th of July cake..which even surprised me.

It was the most amazing cake ever. Ive got a big idea for a 4th of July cake, it will remain a surprise till then! I would love to make more and I have a lot of ideas but ingredients and equipment are expensive, so if anyone wants me to make them a cake, Ill just charge you for ingredients/equip. Any size, shape, flavor, with anything on it. Itll be everything you've ever wished and hoped for. Maybe you're not convinced by the cakes ive made so far, but just wait till you see my 4th of July cake!Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081578639342719871noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178537567854577939.post-88093996036157507402011-05-16T11:20:00.004-05:002011-05-16T11:43:42.347-05:00Cake<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HhQWmEK58eY/TdFPA8c4MfI/AAAAAAAACO8/0qDQb1G2Ub0/s1600/227951_1797634465248_1371330313_31782161_3403242_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HhQWmEK58eY/TdFPA8c4MfI/AAAAAAAACO8/0qDQb1G2Ub0/s400/227951_1797634465248_1371330313_31782161_3403242_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607349888698823154" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-319ngZFj7LM/TdFPAkmn4UI/AAAAAAAACO0/wOqjZ-Kga-A/s1600/227412_1797633825232_1371330313_31782159_977104_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 296px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-319ngZFj7LM/TdFPAkmn4UI/AAAAAAAACO0/wOqjZ-Kga-A/s400/227412_1797633825232_1371330313_31782159_977104_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607349882297246018" /></a><br /><br /> This is the cake I made last night for Brittanys birthday today!! I made it all from scratch, no its not plastic haha. My first time rolling fondant. It was a little thick but still awesome. It was a chocolate butter cake with white almond frosting. I get to make another for Andreas birthday next week!<br /><br />I didnt make a skydiving post or say anything about my birthday yet, so here it goes. I ended up jumping with Katy and Jerebelle, and Andrea, her mom, and KD were there watching. It was EPIC. Did a backflip out a plane at 13,000ft. No big deal. I decided to do it every year on my birthday I loved it so much. And I only have to do it once more tandem then I can fly solo! I have a video and pictures on a CD but my disc drive is broken so I can only post the pics we took on our phones. Later that day we went to see bridesmaids which was hilarious, I think everyone should go see it, and then Jun drove KD, Gabi and me in his new BMW hardtop convertible to a bar. My first legal drink was called a green swamp monster...dont ask me what was in it, I have no idea. But it was green, haha. I then played the best game of pool in my life.

Thanks! <br /><br />In other news, finals are in 2 weeks, then we officially start training again, then I go skydiving, then I possibly drive to Iowa to visit my brother. My parents are driving out too. Cant wait for a break! <br />Tomorrow morning I go in for an EMG where they stick my foot with needles to stimulate the muscle and test how well my nerves are healing. It will be sooo much funnn.....not.... BUT now I will never have to go through a recovery like this again because I got Sebra cutproof leggings from <a href="http://www.cascadespeedskates.com/">Cascade Speedskates!!</a> Im pretty sure because of my injury they're now making it mandatory for all short trackers to wear one of these, not sure if its the whole suit or just the legs, but your welcome short trackers!! :DLizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081578639342719871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178537567854577939.post-57906176509586588952011-03-29T19:58:00.002-05:002011-03-29T20:17:52.462-05:00SwitchingIve decided to switch over to long track. It could be because the crash put me off, Maybe ive been more interested in LT for a while, maybe I think LT will be easier on my body especially after I recover from this injury. Maybe a mix of all those reasons? who knows. Its helped that everyone even when I was doing ST kept telling me I should switch because id be better at it, so maybe I will be. Well see. Im not sure how fast my leg will keep recovering, I can already do most things related to dryland. I can bike too. Just cant run and skating is a little awkward. The bottom of my foot is still numb but I still don't know if that will matter, as long as I regain the ability to move my toes soon... thats a problem. <br /><br />Anyway Ill be training this year with the F.A.S.T long track team, we start up again May 2nd. I got my bike all tuned up and ready to go! Not looking forward to summer classes though... Im taking chem, which I thought would just be one class. But noooooo. I have to take a discussion which requires me to take a lecture and I have lab also, which has a lecture as well. BUT! before all this crap I have to take an online class to prep me for the chem. So I basically have no break in between spring and summer semesters. Awesomeee. <br /><br />On a more fun note, Ive booked my skydiving spot, 4pm on my 21st birthday, may 5th!!!! Jerebelle, Andrea, and Katy are going with me so far. And yes, the reason im jumping out of a plane is because Mikey is driving me INSANE. Just kidding....were just bored out of our minds since theres no practice and theres nothing fun to do in Salt Lake if your under 21. <br /><br />PS. Im getting a video and/or pictures of my free fall, so you all can see what you missed!!!Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081578639342719871noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178537567854577939.post-22098379171711683462011-02-25T13:20:00.004-05:002011-02-25T20:19:15.159-05:00The arrival of the Captain.I got a guinnea pig yesterday!! His name is Captain Jean-Luc Picard. No pics yet since he keeps running around but hes all brown, he likes asparagus, and sleeping in my hoodie pouch. <br />Also a few weeks ago (yeah I kept forgetting to post this) I went shooting with some of the team. IT WAS AWESOME. New hobby for sure. I must say I was surprised at how powerful the gun was. Then the second shot, the shell hit me in the mouth HHAHA.<br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vh0JMPEjpeE?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />Ive decided instead of the birthday trip I was gonna do ill go skydiving with Jerebelle. So far its just us 2 since everyone else is lame. CANT WAIT. <br /><br />Other that that theres nothin else goin on. Kinda wishing I could have some epic ice climbing or skiing pics up like I normally would this time of year :/Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081578639342719871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178537567854577939.post-91662782848136289122011-02-13T14:16:00.002-05:002011-02-13T14:19:12.010-05:00Keep a lookout and pass the word.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KePpZS0lEUk/TVguOthtN2I/AAAAAAAACOs/qrpCWhrZ_Tw/s1600/tumblr_lgkiqoSLj71qg7kp7o1_500.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 324px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KePpZS0lEUk/TVguOthtN2I/AAAAAAAACOs/qrpCWhrZ_Tw/s400/tumblr_lgkiqoSLj71qg7kp7o1_500.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573255369145005922" /></a><br /><br />Please, please reblog this, even if you don’t live in the area! This is my best friend’s sister, she’s been missing for three days (today is Feb 13 2011, she’s been missing since the 10th).<br />Name: Marion Chadwick <br />Height: 4 ft. 11 inches<br />Weight: about 115 lbs<br />Hair/Eyes: Brown hair brown eyes<br />She was last seen in Pittsford, New York, USA.<br />If you see her or have any information, please contact ( 1 603 305 9052 ).Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081578639342719871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178537567854577939.post-64047214729513922232011-01-21T19:38:00.001-05:002011-01-21T19:39:29.283-05:00Boston (part 2)Heres the rest of the Boston pics all conveniently located in an album! I didnt post it when I got back b/c I got strep. That was fun. I also got on the ice for the first time a couple days ago just to get a feel for what ill need to work on and what will give me trouble. Balance is an issue lol. I probably wont get back on the ice for a few more months. <br /><br /><a href="http://goo.gl/photos/8VRWHomDE5" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:1em"><img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TToi0wxJIGE/AAAAAAAACOk/C8Iv7hOdDmE/s160-c/BostonPart2.jpg"></a>Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081578639342719871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178537567854577939.post-80851041488546551672011-01-04T23:16:00.006-05:002011-01-04T23:33:07.971-05:00Boston (part 1)Ive only been here 2 days but ive got a lot of pictures so ill post them now!

My brother came home for a couple days, I wanted to get garbage plates but we didnt have the time. Thats ok though...theyre a little bit unhealthy...lol. We cooked a turkey for xmas dinner that didnt cook all the way the first time so we ended up having side dishes and desert and had the turkey the next day, haha! <br />My dad was afraid he wouldnt get maple sugar candy but I think everyone and their mother gave it to him, so hes set for the year. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TR37WTrzVSI/AAAAAAAACIY/3lfn5FCykuY/s1600/63541_1564306472194_1371330313_31428937_1414486_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TR37WTrzVSI/AAAAAAAACIY/3lfn5FCykuY/s400/63541_1564306472194_1371330313_31428937_1414486_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556873875904746786" /></a><br />My mom also got him this TV series on DVD called Danger UXB.

My flight on monday was delayed in JFK but no big deal. This lady there was with her toddler when the toddler ran up to me going for the iced tea i had sitting on the ground. I saw it coming so I picked it up pretended to drink it and ignored him. The mom came up and said: sorry, and thanks he was going for the drink.<br />Me: Thats ok, I saw it coming. I remember when I was like that way back when. <br />the mom: Yup hes very curious and sneaky this one... <br />Then she walked away. She came back up to me a minute later and said: "You know, you DO have this devious look about you...like you would be sneaky and run away given the chance... I guess you never grow out of it!" <br />This struck me as an interesting thing to say to a complete stranger. But apparently I look devious! <br /><br />Anyway. Ive been getting acupuncture from Leslie, fun! He put needles all down my leg, on my back, and all over my foot.<br />Evidence of fun.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TRUJf80Z96I/AAAAAAAACGE/40mRGMiBCnw/s1600/162706_1559568873757_1371330313_31417229_7560594_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TRUJf80Z96I/AAAAAAAACGE/40mRGMiBCnw/s400/162706_1559568873757_1371330313_31417229_7560594_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554356159937902498" /></a><br /><br />This cut didnt look like it hurt enough lets stick some needles in it.

Even though it was sad since this was the first Sr Champs I qualified for (they didnt even send me my invite!!), It was very interesting being there to watch instead of skate...got a completely different perspective on racing. Landon decided he wanted to join the Sliced Skater Club and got cut by a skater in front of him in the thigh and chest...I freaked out of course. But he was ok, just needed stitches, he didnt cut anything except muscle. He got lucky. But ill never skate without a cutproof ever again. They came out with these new ones that are really comfortable and thinner and stronger than the old itchy yellow ones. All I got to say to all you skaters: Wear your cutproof. We dont want any new members in this exclusive club. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TRUPkDkBFCI/AAAAAAAACHU/OpslLppGacI/s1600/156622_475026751810_695151810_6126035_3150417_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TRUPkDkBFCI/AAAAAAAACHU/OpslLppGacI/s400/156622_475026751810_695151810_6126035_3150417_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554362827537454114" /></a><br /><br />Im going to Boston on the 2nd with Karen, but ill make a post before then. <br />Merry Christmas everyone!Lizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081578639342719871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178537567854577939.post-61436404795717785402010-12-04T22:17:00.005-05:002010-12-04T22:52:01.880-05:00UpdateMk. Ive been kinda lazy and there hasnt been anything going on.. But I guess so far Im walking better and I can do more exercises. Im spinning, doing some weights and lots of core. I almost have a 6 pack :) I lost 2 more lbs. Grand total weight loss since the accident=18 lbs. Once I get my strength back ill be a lean mean skating machine. <br /><br />Im thinking about getting a hamster. I want a teddy bear hamster though and they dont seem to sell them in utah...Ill keep looking and if I have to go to wyoming to get one I will! Its name will be Lieutenant Booboo.<br /><br />There are so many things I want to do now. Ive been planning my 21st birthday for a while now, its gonna be epic no matter what. Me and some teammates were thinking about carpooling to Vancouver and if that doesnt work out well go to Vegas. <br />Me and Jerebelle were just talking about skydiving and theres a place like half an hour from us that charges 190 per person, so if I have any money for it this summer were gonna get a little group together and SKYDIVE!!! Its on the TOP of my bucketlist. Which ive been thinking about more seriously since my accident. It would be a shame if I dont get to skydive before I die. Having an epic birthday/roadtrip/vacation like im planning for my 21st is also something I really want to do. <br />Its so weird. Ive been thinking about how horrible that crash could have been. The blade was only 2mm from cutting my artery and if it did I would be dead, theres no question. I was out on the ice for so long before they got me to the hospital. <br />Im insane for risking my life to accomplish my skating goals...but even after what happened I want to keep doing it. This makes it more important to me to be able to do some of these one in a lifetime things. <br /><br />Ohh yeah thanksgiving. I was gonna make a post but forgot...lol. I spent thanksgiving with my teammates at Andreas parents house. My mom was there too. (Shes going back to Rochester on monday btw). It was super fun. We played a game where we all anonymously put a piece of paper in a bag with something we were thankful for, then we passed the bag around and everyone read a card out loud and we had to guess whos it was. So that was fun, and the food was amazing. Here are some pics. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKXvcgB8I/AAAAAAAACF0/tml7X-9eMSI/s1600/156689_1484712805818_1473821417_31109864_1476727_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKXvcgB8I/AAAAAAAACF0/tml7X-9eMSI/s400/156689_1484712805818_1473821417_31109864_1476727_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547038769026172866" /></a><br />Table #1<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKSqJPO8I/AAAAAAAACFU/otwOKdcgpFQ/s1600/148884_1484713165827_1473821417_31109865_1287143_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKSqJPO8I/AAAAAAAACFU/otwOKdcgpFQ/s400/148884_1484713165827_1473821417_31109865_1287143_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547038681703857090" /></a><br />Table #2<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKTfZPU8I/AAAAAAAACFs/2LbU8Hhd-6E/s1600/155454_471667361480_540721480_6230150_7165681_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 326px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKTfZPU8I/AAAAAAAACFs/2LbU8Hhd-6E/s400/155454_471667361480_540721480_6230150_7165681_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547038695998051266" /></a><br />Jerebelle & me<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKS00LhyI/AAAAAAAACFk/5ztHVEgGiRk/s1600/150808_1484713765842_1473821417_31109866_5158254_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKS00LhyI/AAAAAAAACFk/5ztHVEgGiRk/s400/150808_1484713765842_1473821417_31109866_5158254_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547038684568323874" /></a><br />Jus chillin.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKSotcKcI/AAAAAAAACFc/gmt3IZIQUU4/s1600/149038_471667426480_540721480_6230155_4925677_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 324px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKSotcKcI/AAAAAAAACFc/gmt3IZIQUU4/s400/149038_471667426480_540721480_6230155_4925677_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547038681318828482" /></a><br />Andrea & KD<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKSDUxO_I/AAAAAAAACFM/pLHfJwo7U6w/s1600/75747_471667391480_540721480_6230152_2884733_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 325px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TPsKSDUxO_I/AAAAAAAACFM/pLHfJwo7U6w/s400/75747_471667391480_540721480_6230152_2884733_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547038671283239922" /></a><br />MikeyLizhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13081578639342719871noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1178537567854577939.post-44384413041215098732010-11-04T22:41:00.007-05:002010-11-05T00:29:00.136-05:00NewsK so ive been lazy with the posting since theres not much going on, so I wait for it to build up. But I decided to make one just for Mrs. Bee. :) <br /><br />Im getting a <a href="http://www.senergy.us/tennantbiomod.htm">biomodulator</a> to help with the pain and healing. This this is pretty amazing and it works on every kind of pain or physical ailment you could ever think of. Its super expensive, but thanks to my godfather who lent us the money for it I can get it soon! <br /><br />Ive been going to the oval and spinning with one leg while resting the other on one of those big inflatable balls. Did 40 min the other day and a little core.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TNOHg31kwRI/AAAAAAAACE0/8HXbBdgzCFI/s1600/68873_171997496150873_134431059907517_624038_5909810_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TNOHg31kwRI/AAAAAAAACE0/8HXbBdgzCFI/s400/68873_171997496150873_134431059907517_624038_5909810_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535917365782692114" /></a><br /><br />Jim got me some of these Boathouse Farms smoothies and I finally got around to trying one, it was berry. I really liked it! Theres 2 more in there, and I feel like ive tried the green one from this brand once and I hated it but this berry one is awesome. <br /><br />My sucker fish Charles died today :( Hes been doing this thing lately where hed flip upside down on the surface and suck air and it was really weird. We all thought he was dead like 20 times before this. But this time it was for real...I guess he was sick after all. I got charles a few months ago from Nichole Miller when her tank broke and she needed a home for him. She told me to tell everyone that this fish was the secret to my skating season, so it was kinda symbolic when he died. At least Francois Louis (my beta who reluctantly shared the tank with him) is happy now. <br /><br />I just started watching Alias which Nichole let me borrow on the portable DVD player she bought me, lol. Both of which are amazing. I was hooked from the first 5 minutes even though I was getting distracted by how cool the player was hahaha.<br /><br />Gabi visited for halloween and left today. We had a party at KDs house. It was kinda weird since a lot of people were in Canada for the world cups but I guess everyone that mattered was there. I dressed as Nancy Kerrigan. Genius. I know. It was Mikeys idea lol. I won funniest costume award. My favorite was Brittanys lumberjack costume, it was so her!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TNOHOX5wXqI/AAAAAAAACEs/MMmb4UfbVB8/s1600/76010_1707983858868_1216206310_1916257_2938578_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TNOHOX5wXqI/AAAAAAAACEs/MMmb4UfbVB8/s400/76010_1707983858868_1216206310_1916257_2938578_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535917047972650658" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TNOHOOIqz5I/AAAAAAAACEk/y67Qy8GBa4k/s1600/149089_1679702435845_1336051050_31757133_3555599_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TNOHOOIqz5I/AAAAAAAACEk/y67Qy8GBa4k/s400/149089_1679702435845_1336051050_31757133_3555599_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535917045350846354" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TNOHNyiH0gI/AAAAAAAACEc/0MpXY2aZ6So/s1600/149089_1679702475846_1336051050_31757134_3415706_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TNOHNyiH0gI/AAAAAAAACEc/0MpXY2aZ6So/s400/149089_1679702475846_1336051050_31757134_3415706_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535917037941412354" /></a><br /><br />I drew these pics of my roommates Mikey and Jun a few weeks ago.

So we went over to his studio and got a free photoshoot! Finally got the pics. Theyre pretty epic. I look kinda chunky in these though, ive lost 16 lbs since then. 11 from the injury and 5 from workouts, haha!

Heres what ive been doing...<br /><br /> Jen from Center state was staying with us for the USS board meeting this weekend and she washed my hair for me! :) It was getting real nasty. And yesterday my mom got lost for 4 hours so no one was home to make me lunch. Thats when I put up a status on facebook asking someone to help the hungry cripple which is pathetic and funny at the same time..lol.

Im also seeing Dr. Heiden. We havent started anything yet but im thinking this week ill be doing something. Cant wait to get on my feet again, im so sick of laying down. My legs are super restless, even the hurt one but I cant move it if I try. I got some meds for it since it was making it so I couldnt sleep, but they made me feel horrible. <br />I still cant feel the bottom of my foot but its tingling a lot, which is good. The tingling is starting to hurt a lot which is funny...the cut area doesnt hurt at all but my foot, the innocent bystander does...<br /><br />Alsoooo...

I havent been skating very well ever since last season. So I didnt really want to skate it but I went anyway. I has some really good races and surprised myself. Not so much the 1500, I hate the 1500 sooo muchhh. But the 500 heat and the one 1000 I raced went way better than I expected. I did good enough in the 1000 heat to make the C final. The thing is I almost didnt skate the 1000 heat because I fell in the 500 final and got checked out for a concussion. They cleared me to keep skating though. Now I wish I did have one so I wouldnt have skated the 1000 final but what can I do. Anyway, What im pretty sure happened is that I was leading and a girl was trying to pass on the inside. Bumps me, I lost balance and took another girl with me into the "pads". (They may as well have not put any pads up the sucked so bad). The other girls blades were up when she fell and my leg went down on it. Cut me right behind and above the knee I believe. Havent been able to see it yet though. From what I remember I hit the pads and felt blood gushing from my leg and I screamed. I just lied there and tried to cover my head with my hands so I couldnt see my leg since I knew it was bad. There were swarms of people around me trying to stop the bleeding and I got really cold and was shivering a lot. When I got to the ER They cut all my clothes and my skinsuit off and covered me with heated blankets, I think my temperature was around 95 or 96. I didnt realize until then that I crashed with another skater, Katy Ralston. She was also brought to the ER because they thought she might have had neck or spinal injury, which turned out to be a concussion. So she was released and I went into surgery that night. They repaired 2 cut tendons, some muscle, the vein I cut which a couple millimeters deeper would have been an artery, and the worst part was when they told me I cut 95% of one of the nerves behind my knee. The dr said 18-28 months recovery because of that nerve. the bottom of my foot is numb and I cant move it in certain directions. He said I wouldnt skate again and id be lucky to walk withought a limp, but im not sure I believe him. I know of about 3 skaters whove had nerve damage that have recovered way sooner and are on the ice again. <br />So itll be a long recovery but I think ill recover. I have to give myself shots everyday to prevent clotting which really sucks. I can hardly get to the bathroom on crutches and it hurts the leg to sit upright so sitting on the toilet is another sucky experience. Then I sit on the couch all day. With nothing to do. So, visitors are welcome. hint hint. lol<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TqIIvhV7hp4/TKz9KJq1OKI/AAAAAAAACDs/RhPJwe2b4C0/s1600/65218_447610301480_540721480_5848936_4828338_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;
