Recovering…

What a great ending of the year i had…

After not being able to go snowboarding the first week of December (due to the lack of snow in the whole Europe), the chances of seeing the slopes again in 2006 were very low. Fortunatately a great plan came up:

Granada with my cousin Iñaki

The weekend was awesome. Started on Saturday after lunch, Iñaki picked me up and we headed down to Granada. Got to my cousin’s friends appartment and talked till late.

Sunday morning, up at 7.Brakefast on the run and up the mountain. I gotta make a confession here: I put some weight since summer, and i found it a bit hard (well, not just because of the extra kilos, but also b’cos of the lack of exercise since Sept). Anyways, i had a good time. We snowboarded till 16h00 and then went back to the appartment. Hot wonderful recovery shower. I love those after-slopes showers….

A few people came to Belen’s place (my cousin’s friend) and we started eating and drinking. We celebrated New Year’s Eve with the 12 grapes. Then, the serious drinking started. Haha. Nah…i didnt drink that much cos i was feeling tired, but anyways, we hit some pubs and stayed till 6 am. Great ambience over there. We went to pubs next to the slopes.

Monday 10 am. Up up up. We had the whole day ahead to keep on riding our boards, and so we did. The day started hard, but it all eased down after a few rides. We went back to the appartment at 18h. Packed, had some leftovers outside the house, with the car as a table, freezing our hands out because of the cold, but with a splendid-breath-taking view of the red sunset sky from the top of Sierra Nevada’s mountains. What a view.

We headed back to madrid and were on our way at 20h00. Made it to my house in Madrid at 0h30. I took a shower, unpacked and went straight to bed.

Tuesday morning.6h30. I woke up to go to Alcalá, took the bus and train and got to the Lab. What a weekend!

The year started with a few thoughts:

1.- I love snowboarding

2.- I will have to lose some serious weight if i wanna enjoy 1 fully

3.- I have a great life. I like who i am, where i’m at and look forward for a life-changing 2007
