Lots of Exciting Things!



Lot's of exciting things have been happening on campus lately! Halloween was Monday and I don't think I've every been somewhere that takes is so seriously- EVERYBODY dressed up, even most of the faculty. It was the most fun I've ever had on Halloween and I didn't even trick-or-treat! Here are some costumed friends:


Murph-master and Carter as bros (guess how many shirts Murph is wearing-- 4!)


Cinderella at the salad bar


Batman keeping hydrated


An alpine costumed as a nordic!


Razz the boxing champ


My personal favorite, the tetris pieces!


Peach, Toad, Mario and Luigi


2 Kate Middletons


Baby, Papa, and King Smurf


Group shot!


X-mas M&Ms

In the afternoon, the alpine women had a mountain bike race, costumes encouraged!







Six of the older alpine women just returned from a week of skiing in Loveland, CO. When they returned, a girl in my dorm hooked my roommate Lisa up with an autographed Lindsey Vonn T-shirt! What a welcome back surprise!!


(Notice the face paint- Lisa and the rest of the girls flew home in costume, she was the cat half of catdog)

Yesterday, Jenna and I took to the slopes of Burke Mountain for a great adventure. When the snow first flew, we made sleds out of cardboard boxes and trash bags, so yesterday we hiked up with our "sleds."

SO AWESOME!


Though the days are getting shorter, the sunsets are still spectacular!

Today, we did some Lactate testing. In a nutshell, you do intervals of increasing intensity and get "pricked"in between each one to get a reading of the lactic acid that your body generates. You also take a heart-rate reading so you end up with some really good data that tells you a lot about how your body handles intensity and how your training is going.

So yeah, that's what I've been up to!
