The weather here in Colorado over the last week has been fantastic. Warm, no wind and Breckenridge opened last Friday. It means that today I was up early, went for an early morning swim, then had 4 runs snowboarding and back in the office by 10:30.
Don’t worry it isn’t all peaches and cream, I fully expect to be working until midnight or so and then I’ll sleep like a baby.
On my list of things to do today is to reply to a request from International Jock who wants to advertise on this blog. Instead of just a static banner ad that maybe we’ll do something more fun.
How about this idea? They offer a pair of speedos from their site up for grabs for a reader each month? Or get their model shoot photo galleries and I can make them available to you guys.
Anyone have any good ideas?
I have ordered from International Jock (I think I ordered some N2N speedos from them) and they seemed good to deal with.
Not sure if ES is sold on International Jock but I’ve been seeing more and more of them around the web these days…. might be because they have some hot photo shoots.
Holy moly guys, did Kip and I have a HUGE night on Friday or what!!!!
It was a nice lazy Friday, I went for a swim, there was a bit of snow on the ground. As the day wound down I was sitting on the couch, in front of the fireplace, drinking a G&T (gin and tonic), reading a book (Guns, Germs and Steel). I was anticipating a nice quiet night, maybe order some Chinese and that is when things got a little crazy.
Kip announced that we were going to head out so I had another couple of G&T’s, then we headed out and caught up with some folks that Kip knows. We partied out on the town and then everyone ended up back at our place. Nothing too naughty, just a bunch of fun people in town for the weekend.
Then we just kept drinking and dancing and just shootin’ the crap.
All of a sudden…. it was 6am!!!!
No dinner, a few G&T’s before heading out and then all of that. I woke up at 7pm the next day!!!! Hahaha. Then we just sat around and watched a few movies and Sunday I slept in again as well.
I’m not going to go as far as saying I’m not drinking again (I think I was more tired and hungry and hungover)…. but I think I might have a quiet, more monastic week this week.
So to start the week, I was up at 5am (this post will be published about 6:15am) and there is a bunch of random speedo eye candy for you guys.
Anyone else have a big weekend?
My swimming has really improved over the last couple of months.
Being at 9,500 feet above sea level I couldn’t believe how pathetic I was when I got back into the pool. It wasn’t so much my arms or muscles but purely a lack of breath. I should be able to jump into a pool and swim 1,000m no problems but up here, I couldn’t swim 300m without having to stop from lack of breath.
It has been slow but I’m starting to get on top of it and I can swim 1,000m now without a breath. Still nothing compared to what I could do years ago and at sea level but it is nice to look back at the improvement I’ve made.
How many of you guys swim? Anyone swum at altitude? Would love to hear your thoughts.
